1: You are going to need a IR Filter. There are several ava. I am using the Hoya R72, just to warn you they are not cheaphttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif

2: Compose your picture as you would normally, then flip into man. focus. Place the filter on the front without moving the focus ring or the front of the lens. On most of the mid grade and higher lenses there are red marks to show the focus point for IR photography. Refer to the man of your lens for those marks. Move the focus to align the right mark for the focal distance.

3: Flip to manual mode set the ISO for as low as the camera can go mine is 100. Set the mirror lock up function to on and the timer to on. Set the F-stop between 8 and 22, this will be adjusted many times to get the right focus point and depth of field. Set the shutter speed to 10 sec. push the button and wait unitl the picture is done. Now bracket the shot many times using both adjustments of shutter speed and F-stop.

4: For the post processing I'm going to refer you to the site that helped me the most.
