via the channel mixer. you make the reds blue and blues red.

Now, generally when you take an IR photo it turns up some shade of pink magenta or red, if not black and white. When you invert the colors it sometimes looks really badass. I was never able to figure out quite what I was doing wrong, because when inverted the photos i take don't get as dramatic.

However, I just tried this on a photo I took a while ago and this is it! This is the shit i'm talking about.

Hoya R72 baby. it's around 50 bucks, but it's a heck of an investment.

Look at all the fun you can have

Looks like something out of a horror game.

Not bad but could you tell that utility pole to exit the frame

why not do a contrast or saturation merge of the infrared over the original?

Looks cool with the reds, less so with the purples.

Seems like a nice, quiet street.

I don't even have a decent camera. I mostly use my cell, or my old Sony Cyber-Shot which, at this point, probably has fewer MP than my phone.

I like the utility pole even though it is kinda...there. Moreso than that I like the power lines connecting to it from a few different directions.

What I really don't like is the potted plant to the left, but I didn't really do much editing and this was just a snapshot and not entirely planned out as best as it could be.
