HDR is what some folks are referring to when the DR (dynamic range) setting is changed from 100 to 200 or higher, the shadows are boosted and the highlights are lowered. As long as you stay at DR 100, the files will be regular sized and un-affected. The DR setting is what I believe itchy is asking about.
p.s. Shooting in IR comes up every now and then, maybe your and @Ninon’s collaboration can pull together some info into one place (hope, hope).

I was reviewing some more of my shots from my recent trip, and I noticed something in one shot that at first I thought was trouble, but turned out to be shocking.  Here are two images....
 
Here's the first - I purposely used the top of the spire to shield the sun, to allow it to halo the top as part of the composition....

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When I zoomed in to see about cropping it some, I noticed spots, and thought, "wow the lens or sensor got REALLY dirty, and that's a shame.  Wasted shot."  I looked at the other images immediately after and before it, and there were no spots, so I was naturally confused.
 
Zoomed in...

That's when I realized, those aren't dust spots or bad pixels, those are... STARS.  The dynamic range was wide enough that it could pick up the faint starlight that was mixing in with the sunlight, stars that are always in the sky, but normally invisible due to the intensity of the sun.  I am impressed with the ability of the sensor in the X-T5 to resolve these details.
post edit - the compression when posting the image ruins the details, sadly.  I may post another one REALLY zoomed in to show it better....

Wow!  Beautiful!  I love iR images!   What lens(es) were you using?  I’d also like to know more about the converted camera.  

Wonderful!
Welcome to the forum.

Hello,
First time I post something here except for my newbie introduction.
These pictures where shot this weekend on a hike in a local woodland.
I shot them with a converted XT1 (700nm).
Hope you like them.
And please feel free to comment, I'm always open to learning.

Since there is no topic for landscapes in b&w, I thought let's create one...

The distant high peak is Monte Antelao (3264m), further to the right (invisible) is Marmolada (3343m).
I rather like this one. Looks like a nicely peaceful scene, but if you want to see what the conditions were really like, have a look at  this (with sound on !). It was freezing cold, I could hardly operate my poor camera.

Open Topic. Let us combat the global warming.
This one seems fit for a PF2019 greeting. PF2019 everyone !
 

Shot using a B+W 10 stop ND filter and the 3 stop internal ND filter turned on, 77 second exposure. Did a lot of dodging and burning on this. Putting the horizon exactly in the center was a deliberate composition choice. 
I call this my poor mans Rothko. This all started for me when I saw the cover of the U2 album "No Line On The Horizon" in 2009 and looked up the photographer, Hiroshi Sugimoto. For years his work was in the back of my head. Finally this year I decided to do some long exposure work of my own. This is from my 3rd day ever of shooting LE. For some reason shooting 1x1 really appeals to me and I find myself shooting in that format a lot. 
C&C if you like. Comments are appreciated.

The Jacobean House stands in the grounds of the much older Hay Castle at Hay-on-Wye.  It's just been refurbished, at great cost.  They did a good job, as I hope the image shows.  X-T2, 50 mm XR lens.
