If you're interested in true IR photography, you'll need to use a camera that has the IR blocking filter (part of the sensor stack) removed. Without a modified camera, you'll be using long exposures, losing some of he IR light, and with a DSLR the viewfinder will be very dark with an IR filter mounted.

I’m aware of that, I’ve talked to people who only use IR filters, I’m not looking for any award winning images just something different to keep me busy during the summer so I don’t lose motivation like I did last year.

I don’t have the money to convert my camera to IR, and even if I did, I don’t have a spare body since I wouldn’t want to convert my main camera. That said, I think I’ll stick to my £17 Zomei IR filter I just bought 😅
