Mostly for the last month, I've been playing around with IR photography using my Sony DSC-707 in Nightshot mode AND with considerable post processing. Here's two recent ones:

Love that first one - the trees are amazing. Do you use like an RM72 on it, or just shoot in night mode to get it to bypass the IR filter?

Thanks, Rob.

The Sony "Nightshot Mode" lifts the internal IR filter in the camera from in front of the sensor, so then one has to screw on an IR-pass filter to the front of the lens to shoot in bright daylight, thereby blocking the regular color spectrum and allowing only the IR spectrum to reach the sensor.

Also, I use an an NDX8 filter, and if it's really bright an additional NDX2 filter.

Here's another:
