3. I guess this is silly

But it makes me wonder if this is how Ireland looks.

Very nice image!

4. Well, we ARE coming up on St. Patrick's day . . . nt

Edit: Actually, probably more like Galadriel and Celeborn's Lothlórien.

5. It's beautiful.

I would not have guessed WHAT the image would have looked like in infrared, but it is gorgeous.

6. IR gives an other worldly look to foliage. The chlorophyll in foliage reflects 100% of IR so

green leaves look white, water is deep black and the blue sky becomes very dark. It's fun to use in the spring when everything is verdant and green.

7. Impressed

I was tickled pink if you know what I mean

9. This is a fascinating image, my dear Andy!

I don't really know that much about infrared photography, so I always wonder what's going on. It's like a brand-new world to me.

Thanks for opening the door!

13. Oops, replied to OP and not to your reply! See down thread.

10. I like converting them to B&W

Of course, I like converting everything to B&W

[AndyS]

12. Yeah, that's what I did and then just because so much of the pictures

was foliage I added a green tint.

[alfredo]

14. OK, now I see.

17. Kodachro-oooooooooh-ome

makes you think all the world's a sunny day.

19. It is a sunny day because I got my internet back.

It’s been out since Thursday.

11. You are most welcome Peggy.

FWIW most post processing software has an IR imitation under effects. It comes close to interpreting what a visible spectrum image would look like in IR. It tends to fall short in representing water, the sky and some more subtle aspects of the real deal. That said, sometimes the interpretation is more pleasing.

15. Thanks! That is quite helpful. ♥

18. I once made a DIY infrared camera

... by removing the IR filter and using a piece of developed but unexposed film negative as a visible light filter. Standard CMOS sensors are sensitive to near-IR, but not the full spectrum of a "thermal" camera. It was fun -- foliage looks a lot like your photo and water looks black -- but I used a cheap and fairly crappy camera, so the images were very low quality. Now that pretty good action cameras are cheap, maybe it's time to give it another try.
