Hi Technpix... Congrats !

Really, you did it ? Was it Difficult or Easy to achieve ?

I though I was the only one for eternity...

how do I make it do all these effects that i see in IR photography?

everything looks purple on my lcd screen.

That's normal...

now try to record a Custom WB on a White sheet of paper...

-> Sky will look Blue, but... Trees will remain purple :

and now try to record a Custom WB on one of these Trees...

-> Trees will now become +/- whitish...

You now have 5 Parameters to play with :
+ Landscape Lighting as usual...
+ Exposure as usual...
+ Different Custom (Kelvin Manual ?) White Balances...
+ Different Color and /or IR Filters...
+ Post Processing as usual...
= Infinite Possibilities
Landscape - IR - Photography

Important : a wide majority of IR Photos on the web are shot with
IR Filtered Cameras + R72 Filter : so need ISO 800+, seconds, tripod...
The opposite for your NX-mini = about 1.3 to 1.5 Ev More Sensitive !

see the bottom of my page Samsung-NX-mini-Top-IR

Subscribing to an IR forum is a good idea... tell us which one...

Can't wait to watch your IR Landscapes, congrats again !
