Threads like these always seem to bombard people with directions to a hundred different money sinks. If you just want to make a cheap attempt to get your feet wet, get an inexpensive IR filter off amazon like this one, screw it on your lens and go out and take some pictures.
As others have mentioned, you won't get any super-crisp images without modifying your camera, since the on-sensor IR filter requires looooong exposures to be able to make any sort of image. If you're just playing around and magnificent quality isn't the top priority, shoot in max ISO and you should be able to get away with 1-2 second exposures in broad daylight. A tripod helps a lot.
Try to stay away from filters that block anything above 720nm without modifying your camera, though. They will block out way too much light and it will be much harder to get a clear image.
Ir filters for cameras usually filter IR out, for dk2 camera you would want band pass filter that passes only IRedit: sorry actually IR filters for slr's are usually passing only IR, so they should work (eg. http://www.amazon.com/NEEWER%C2%AE-58MM-Infrared-Filter-Camera/dp/B003U65A7E), many digital cameras have integrated IR filters that filter out the IR and thats what i was basing my first answer on.
Hey Alex,
Thank you so much for taking the time for this. I'm currently using an Canon Rebel T1i (old and crappy). The supposed IR filter that I'm using is this one here.
You said that you tried to process the image I posted, and it didn't work. This leaves me with two possibilities: 1) My camera (internally) isn't capable of IR photography because of its internal make up. 2) The filter (as you mentioned, and I posted above) that I'm using isn't an IR filter at all.
If the camera is the issue, I'll have to wait because I don't want to convert it as it is my only DSLR. If the filter is the issue, can you please send me a link to which one would be doable? That Hoya filter seems to be the one everyone is talking about. Is that a good choice?
Finally, could you share some of your methods in post? Do you use Photoshop? Thanks again for your help, Alex!

I use this under $10 filter for my IR photography with my Nikon P7000 that has not had any internal modifications done. And I think it does a pretty decent job.

Here's another example of an image I've taken with this filter

I have a question on infrared photography. I've seen lens cap thingies like this one on sale on Amazon for a fairly cheap price. Would the lenses produce the similar images, or do you need to buy a specific body/lens?
