I've always loved this part of UNO's campus (University of Nebraska at Omaha), but the light never seemed right to capture it. Biked up there on a hot summer afternoon and tried shooting some infrared shots to see what that looked like. Love how it turned out, and how much more the foliage stands out! Foliage reflects infrared light more than cement and buildings, so it's like a whole new way of seeing a landscape :)
I know not everyone is a fan of infrared imaging (not naturalistic enough for the taste of some), but for what it's worth, there really isn't a huge amount of manipulation involved. Standard processing is to switch the Red and Blue channels in post-processing (otherwise, your image turns out completely red thanks to the filter you have to use, which blocks out all visible light). However, if you shoot with a custom white balance, you may not even have to do that much channel editing. I know a lot of people dismiss infrared as manipulation, but it's truly just another way of seeing :)

Please tell me what you think! :dance:

I like this. I do similar work like this.

Is your camera modified or are you just using the filter?

I love infrared because...like you said...it's another way of seeing ;p

How do you shoot infrared? I heard you could remove one filter on a regular camera.

I'd love to see this done on a windy day with a bit of a timelapse.

Not sure how to do infrared with my camera. xD

This image looks so beautiful. not only does it look realistic, but the illumination the trees appear to give make me wish I could have them outside of my bedroom window.

Purists can say what they want. I think infrared photography is cool. It's just silly what people can get their bloomers in a bunch over. :iconbigmacshrugplz:

And I think this particular shot is really nice. The soft quality of the golden leaves creates something of an ethereal atmosphere, which contrasts heavily with the modern human architecture.

And I just now realized you took a 30 second exposure, which accounts for that soft quality and the ghosts in the background. ^^;
