Infrared photography is typically used to create black and white pictures of landscapes that feature incredible detail, sometimes with a dreamlike glow. When infrared images are processed using film such as Kodak’s Aerochrome series however, the shot is reproduced with false-colour, where the reds, greens and blues are reversed. The result is a surreal scene where elements such as trees and foliage appear as a vibrant pink, which often looks like the photograph was taken on another planet! Digital photographs can be post-processed using a variety of methods that offer different looks, but the false-colour aesthetic is still a favourite among photographers. In today’s showcase I present a range of breathtaking examples of infrared photography with surreal colours.

Brilliant!!! Is there any method to achieve this on Digital Photos?
What a great tutorial this would be! :)
To answer Soham’s question, there is a few digital ways of re-creating authentic looking IR photography – both in colour and in B&W. PSDFILM has an IR package of 8 effects for Photoshop that emulate the analog films closely. They even include separate layers so you can have more control over your image and also include the different ISO FILM GRAIN patterns! I’ve been experimenting with them all last week and I’m liking what I see so far. You can view it here + other analog B&W, Slide, Color Negative, and Instant Films too….
