Gonna have to sit and wait with the 30 second exposure..
That's part of what makes it fun
.. Experiment with ISO, aperture, etc until you find what works best. Note that everything that is true with noise in a DSLR exposure seems magnified when you put that IR filter on the lens. That's part of where covering the viewfinder helps for keeping out stray light.
There are also some point and shoot digicams that are particularly suited for IR. The Olympus 2020, the Panasonic FZ1, some of the sonys and nikons as well. With these, even with the R-72, you can go handheld (but the WB setting still applies).
There are a few IR masters around here (I'm not one of them) and once they spot the thread, they'll have plenty of advice.
