the sky does not look too bad. like real IR, the grass is not REAL white, and the trees are not at all. It is a cool looking B&W though. (C: Most leaves and plants will be like snow on a bright day.
Here is one of my experiments from a few weeks ago. the tree is dormant and still came out white barked. That is snow on the ground. wanted to see what it looked like
It's doesn't really look like an IR shot to be honest, it looks like a normal black and white. But a very eye catching black and white, a very good shot.
Does the Canon DRebel see any infrared light? Maybe that's my problem.
Try the remote test. Take a shot of of a transmitting IR remote that's pointed at your camera. If you see a light on the remote, the camera is IR sensitive.
The D-Rebel/300D has a filter over the sensor that will block most of the IR light, thus making it not the best for IR photograhy. However, I have seen it done, but you'll need the nifty filter (like a hoya R72 I believe) and some rather long exposures to get a decent image.
I'd love to see someone make some attempts with it! :)
I do like the photo. It does look alot closer to IR than the other. Definitely could pass for IR just looking at it quick.
Weeping willow? A lot of work to get to that? (Psssstt...buy the filter.) (C;

It was more alot of experimentation with the Channel mixer and curves. Now, I've got an idea of how to do it, and know what kind of photographs it takes going in to be able to make it IR.
As for the filter, given that the DRebel does not let in IR, or at least has not been proven to yet, I don't want to buy a $60 filter and not be able to use it. I'm waiting to see if someone else can make it work reasonably well first. Any takers? Besides, it's too cold here right now, so there are NO leaves on any trees at the moment. I would not be able to really test it out.
I did a little searching on DPReview and found these threads. It seems like it is possible to do IR with Canon DSLRs. All you need is a filter (r72), a tripod and a little patience (25-30 sec exposures).
