I am a huge fan of IR photography… these are some great pics too.
Here is one of the first shots I took after getting an IR-capable camera. Still one of my favorites, too:

I love IR photography!! I actually just got an IR filter but haven’t had the chance to play with it yet. I was waiting for a nice day with cool clouds, because I love how the clouds look in these images… but of course we’ve had clear skies since! Maybe I’ll just give up and go play :P
If anyone has any tips or anything for IR photography, I’d appreciate it! You can just message me :)

These are simply Fantastic!

I love the idea of ezperimenting with IR photography. I have just read that the filters can be made from unexposed colour film once developed.
Has onyone experience of this as it seems a fun way to make your own filterregards

Too bad you don’t put the information about the filter wich was used and an exif information aqf the shots.
But these are great and impressing works

Here’s one of mine

How are the above photos in this post coloured? Are they film images shot on IR film and processed as colour images, or is there some magic “make IR photo go colourful” filter in photoshop?

I’m adding this link to my facebook page. Fantastic stuff! I’m a stranger to IR.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:54 am
All pictures are so beautiful ! Wonderful,fantastic. I like them so much.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:02 am
These are excellent and I love the colors. Does anyone have a tutorial explaining how to achieve the pseudo-colors seen in these images?
September 18th, 2009 at 4:15 am
A few for your perusal…

Beautiful! I’ve always loved IR photography, and images like these are the reason why.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:59 am
IR is the next on my ToDo list… still need a few things first for the camera… plus a new camera. :)
Great shots above, but sadly, when I click them and see the origin… there is never Meta info. Noticed that a lot with the samples shown on the site… be great if it were included just so us beginners can see what lens was used, shutter speed, ISO, etc…

Love the ‘IR’ images. I am very new to DSLR photography and was taken back by the atmosphere achieved by this method. I, as would possibly a number of other members I am sure, would really appreciate more information on the individual photographs i.e. how they were achieved and with what equipment/settings and or perhaps an article on how to shoot ‘IR’ would be possible online sometime! Hint, hint!
Great work by the way to all the photographers who took the images.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:16 am
i dont believe all of this is IR
i am personally working on IR scanning and image detection…
i think some of these are photoshopped…
September 18th, 2009 at 7:06 am
Absolutely fantastic . Some of the greatest shots i have ever seen.—Ed

I am totally addicted to infrared and have been shooting it for about a year now. I have a huge folder of infrared photography on my website shot with both canon and nikon cameras. I’d love to see my work featured like this one day! Please check out my infrared and leave me some comments! Thanks! -Amber Flowers

these photos are amazing. i am an absolute stranger to infrared photography but looking at these pics has got me sold. i hope to learn more about this type of photography though so i can soon take some awesome photos like these. absolutely stunning.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Awesome pics!
One Problem, your facebook share is crap.
No Pictures No Description Nothing.
You should really invest the time to fix this huge annoyance.
PLEASE!
September 18th, 2009 at 11:56 am
How’d they do that? Would love to know how it can be done on my DSLR.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
stunning!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
You can do it by your DSLR, Only extra bit need is IR pass filter (eg Hoya R72). On unmodified camera you need long expose (may be 30s) for get good result. You can see some of my IR pics here http://www.flickr.com/photos/asela_a/sets/72157616913579794/ , check for exif data for expose values.
You need bit post processing as well for get a good looking out put. Read about custom white balance and channel swapping too

September 19th, 2009 at 12:28 am

happy new year!

Allow me to play devil’s advocate here. I love IR photography, but simply being in IR doesn’t make a shot great. I think a lot of these images have rather poor composition/exposure and are relying too much on the IR effect to cover up the faults.
September 19th, 2009 at 6:12 am
Your great I loved it you out did yourself I am a artist to .
September 19th, 2009 at 6:26 am
I have a page explaining infrared photography on my website (and a gallery with my IR’s), but if anyone needs help with figuring out infrared email me at soulgazephotography@yahoo.com. I’d love to help you! I personally use a Hoya rm72 filter and depending on the sensitivity of your camera you’ll have to use a tripod and longer shutter speeds. I have three camera’s that I’ve used for my infrared. One was clear with a 1 sec exposure with no tripod the other needed 3 seconds and a tripod when over cast. It varies. The white balance, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, amount of sunlight/foliage, knowing when to use a tripod are all important factors of IR. Not all cameras do well with IR even at long shutter speeds. There are websites such as lifepixel that can convert a camera to IR only. My IR’s are all in color (white foliage/blue sky) and I do the processing in Photoshop. Here’s my most popular recent IR to show you what I mean by color. http://www.flickr.com/photos/soulgazephotography/3924464559/ again I’d love to help anyone interested…infrared in a very rewarding way to photograph…I only wish I lived where the trees would stay green year round!!

Gorgeous photos, each & every one. I’ve always wanted to try this, as I love the look of this technique. The closest I’ve gotten so far is after the fact processing.

I’ve been messin with IR over the end of the Summer there. Not much scope for it recently with the weather and what not (although maybe IR on a rainy day may be interesting?)
Here are some of my shots (plus other alternate light source images) from Flickr

I haven’t shot any IR for probably 15 years .. I think it’s time to play :)
September 27th, 2009 at 2:45 am
I had never seen so art infrared photos.
September 27th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Can IR photography be replicated using any photoshop techniques or filters?
October 6th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
I have heard of X-ray photography… but IR? Well these photos look surreal – almost dream like. I love the colors that were produced.
Im off to make my own filter!

I’ve loved IR since my first attempt with digital and the Nikon Coolpix 990. Now with a modified Nikon D50 to shoot IR only, my love has grown from a fancy to an obsession.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:35 am
I have been shooting IR for a few years now. I’ve been featured at a local gallery, and an IR article in What Digital Camera magazine. You can view my work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/cappaholic/sets/72157594240687669/
