Here's a few of my infrared photos. Using a Sony NEX-5 that's been modified to full spectrum, which means it can capture a broader spectrum of light than what we can see. I then use a camera filter which only let near-infrared and some of the visible light through, which makes it possible to create some very colourful images
Unfortunately this one got a bit of lens flare. It's not always easy to see in camera when taking these types of images

That last one.....its like a dreamscape. Ominous, yet beautiful. Instills dread, yet I want to go there. +1

Thanks :) some of the results can end up looking like it's from another planet

Very interesting concept @OP. Did you do the modifications yourself?
Ricobe9
No, I got it converted to full spectrum by a professional

Would this work in the dark as well? Highlighting spots of interest with a flashlight for instance?
Ricobe9
Good question. If you have a flashlight that can emit infrared light, then you could. Aside from that, I'm not sure it would give that good
SwankyPotato
So maybe use a hairdryer instead?

If it's about heat you'll need a thermal camera instead

Results. The infrared spectrum is quite large, and even normal converted cameras can only see what's also called near infrared

It's not the same as those deep infrared cameras that are made to detect heat
