1) you need an IR filter on the lens. Look at your lens filter diameter marked on the lens, and select an IR filter that's the right size.
2) put the camera on a tripod. Compose your image and use manual exposure to set the aperture and shutter speed.
3) put the filter on. A good IR filter will be black because visible light is blocked. Take a photo. The exposure will take a lot longer than you think, like many, many seconds, which is why you need the tripod.
4) adjust the shutter speed and aperture as necessary.

First, try this easy test to see if your camera is capable of taking infrared (IR) photos: Point a TV remote at the camera lens and press the ON button. If you see a red dot on the image or view screen your camera is IR - capable. If not, it has an IR filter in front of the sensor. As previously mentioned you can have it removed. However, the IR filter was there for a reason and removing it will probably make your camera an IR-only camera.
Another option is to do it in editing. The Feb. 2006 issue of Shutterbug Magazine had a how-to article titled "The Digital Road to IR B&W". You can read it at shutterbug.com.
You could also buy the Fujifilm FinePix S3 PRO UVIR which is a dedicated IR-only camera.

Probably the best way that I've heard so far is to send your camera in here:

And he will modify it for you. Once modified it is irreversible (i believe), and to the best of my knowledge the camera will operate like it did before. No long exposures, no filters needed on your lens. The whole process is outlined on the above site. I believe he also has units available for sale. I could be wrong.

The D70 seems to have good infra-red capabilities. All you should need is an 88A filter on the lens to take infra-red photos. See the web site below.
