Note:
I love the aesthetic of mono infrared photography cause it looks very eerie. The blue color (such as sky or ocean) turns black and the green color (such as foliages) turns white.

Infrared can't be seen by a naked eye. With high speed film (Kodak HIE) or digital camera's sensor (with a hot mirror removed), we can see the world under a different light (pun intended).

Mono infrared was originally invented for scientific purposes and aerial geopgraphical surveys.

Digital camera's sensor is very sensitive to near IR light so a hot mirror is used to prevent IR contamination. When a hot mirror is removed in a digital cameara, almost full spectrum is capable. When a hot mirror is replaced with an IR filter, lower frequencies (visible to naked eyes) are blocked leaving near IR frequencies as you see in this photo.

Interesting example of an IR photo. Strong composition and surprisingly sharp details.
Thanks for sharing

Well done! The infrared effect is very good. I've been thinking of having a camera converted as well. Very well composed.

Hi Nap

I'm not a huge fan of IR photography but your shot has me re-thinking that stance. I really think IR works here. Nice framing and general presentation. Good work!

Hi Nap,
The Infrared gives a great poetry at this photo! Usually, I find that this technique presents too strong contrasts and removes the subtly at the gray tones. Here, it is different! The range of tones is large and the IR underlines softly this beautiful composition.
Very nicely done. Annie

Great composition and detail Nap.... lovely shot.

Regards Mark :)

Hi Nap
I am always fascinated by the infrared. It does give off fantastic results, and this one is awesome.
Dot
Was reading on it yesterday and naturally my camera does not do such things so it would have to be a filter. I know you can do it in photoshop with plug ins but I don't like to change my photos except add frames to them.

What a lovely composition, Nap! It's like a dream. Great use on the IR filter. I like how you framed your shot. Thanks for the note.
Cheers!
Freddie :)
