The images above and below were recorded at Antelope Flats. The image above was recorded at 15:00 MDT on June 8, 2013 using the Nikon D200 converted to the Wratten 830nm filter cutoff by LifePixel Inc (aka the D200IR)**. The lens used was the old but reliable AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-f/4.5G at 27mm. Exposure was f/16 and 1/80s, ISO 100. The image below was shot with the same setup, but with the lens at 50mm, and an exposure of f/16.0 and 1/30s, ISO 100.

**There are many IR conversion options, and the technical details are well-detailed on the LifePixel website. Although the lower wave length cutoff filters, i.e., color IR filters, produce interesting images, I prefer the deep saturation and contrast generated by the ‘Deep BW IR’ filter, e.g, the 830nm cutoff filter.
