Wow! I really feel like I can look into it!
I hear the leaves, feel the breeze but it's like the afterlife.
Really intense!

Just wowww.... this is so good, it looks like another world. I thought at first that it was a 3D render or a photo manipulation. Great work

Hehe, I was there again earlier this evening. Sorting out photos now... swan family were sleeping under the big tree to the right.
Anyways, alas the colour isn't real, at least not as far as human sight normally works. That's a world I like to see through the camera. Very green there to these organic eyes. You can kinda fake it a bit with the right filters, but you see a world in white, red and black. That reminds me, got the Kanon Wakeshima CD today

There is the old saying: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Then again I did get a genuine Japanese CD for a decent price off HK ebay sellers before, but it was an old one.

Real. Samyang 8mm fisheye... flare looks much brighter in IR than visible light. Very hard to keep the sun off it...

No fisheye distortion . . . Do tell. You photoshop it out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No distortion correction either. I did to a slight crop but nothing to do with distortion or perspective. It doesn't visibly show distortion too much as long as the straight lines are close to radial from the middle.

damn, smilie fail

Too old 
Erm... I haven't tried people myself, but it is supposed to make skin go bright. In random dA samples I just checked out, hair could go light or dark, but I don't know what the factor is in that. [link] Do remember that the mapping of IR back to visible can and does vary with the camera, the filter and processing so it can still look different. Mine is a somewhat conventional process where bright IR stuff is white-ish, with a slight red or blue cast depending on something I dunno yet, and some man made blue and black items (e.g. plastic, dyes) looking very blue.

Thanks. I went converted camera to make things easier. I like seeing this alternate view of the world.

That's why I got the 300D... cheapest DSLR I could get, and instructions on how to disassemble it are out there.

Love this effect you do on some photos, the sun looks really good here, nice shot!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's infra-red photography... uses the light just beyond visible red, but not the far IR that thermal imagers detect. It tends to make plants glow bright, although as I'm shooting into the sun here it isn't so strong an effect.
If you want to have a go too, you can get a filter off ebay for under £15 or so (depending on size) for a no name one. I went and converted a camera for it to make things easier. But many considerations on how to use one...

Does sound interesting to do, nice results too, but I don't think it would work so well on the kind of shots I do, I think it works best for landscape kind of shots, which I'm not too good at

I did try it on wildlife before, but they all come out dark
Actually, I thought of an even cheaper way if you want to try it. I got some lighting gels (coloured plastic sheets) a while back to make my own "IR goggles" as your eyes are sensitive enough to see in IR with good sunlight. The film is cheap and comes in massive sheets, and I still have... almost all of it left over! So if you want to try I can send some segments over which you just need to cut to size and probably hold it in place using a UV filter is easiest.

Hmm, good idea. Do they work the same as the filter then or will the effect be less strong or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They work in much the same way as the dedicated filters. Basic theory is to cut out enough visible light to allow mostly the IR light through. Might need to experiment a bit depending on the false colour mix you are going for. If we meet at kitties then I'll bring some with me then.
