Okay, wait. Is this snow? It sure looks like, but I don't think it is? It's so quiet and pieceful, though!

Are you unfamiliar with infrared photography?

Actually, no! I see it here on dA frequently but I dont really know how it's made! You're doing it pretty often, dont you?

Oooh, yes and no - easy is a relative term here
Other digital cameras require careful modification to convert them to IR/full-spectrum, on a Sigma you just pop out a filter that sits inside the lens mount. Takes like 20 seconds, costs nothing and can be reversed, so that aspect is easy. But it's been quite a learning curve to get comfortable shooting IR on this thing, which is why I've been practicing it so much lately
If you want to give it a go you can try it on your camera without modifying it. The internal IR blocking filters aren't 100% perfect, so if you use an IR pass filter (something like 720nm or 740nm) and a long exposure / high ISO you can get an image.

Hmm.. thank you for your explanaition! I think I have to take some more time studying this field of art, but it seems defenitely worth it. How long have you been making pictures like that?
