Don�t forget the focus is slightly off, there should be a red mark left of infinity, I forget this some times myself when I shoot IR. Also anything with a clean edge, buildings etc. get a ghostly look since all of the wavelengths don�t focus to the same point, i.e. Optical lenses are not achromatic in the IR range.
