Taken with a newly converted full spectrum Lumix DMC-GF2, with a 590nm 'Goldie' filter on the lens. R-B swapped in CS6 then Processed in LR5.
More flashy false-color IR madness 😜, I need to sprinkle in some regular photos soon, or we might risk loosing our imagined firm grip on conventional reality altogether. 😲 I might at least. 😝
Source for this is 42 photo mercator projection, 37857 x 21469px, ~812,8MP; I don't know the original size of this crop since I (have to) downscale the panorama after stitching; ..but it's huge, ~2,9:1 ratio and 360° angle of view.

originally shot with my full spectrum xt-2 using an 850nm filter. sixteen minute exposure using a metal halide grow light in my basement near the washing machine (in case you were wondering).
While travelling for about three weeks across Namibia we encountered some wonderful landscapes and wildlife. Here's an infrared shot of an acacia tree somewhere in the Kalahari. Acacias are abundant in the desert country, presenting green leaves even in de driest of conditions. The leaves and pods provide food for large animals like giraffe and elephants. Processed in Lightroom for the typical blue-purple look of my preference, obtained with a full spectrum converted camera with 590 nm filter. Your comments are welcome!
Okay, no masterpiece in terms of composition, but that's actually the single photo IRG algorithm (JW Wong et al.) I pulled off here.

I think it's the first one I shared, took it end of February. I can't say I have the method down by any means, there are so many factors involved, I really would have to spend more / a lot of time with this to perhaps figure it out, but doesn't seem like it at the moment. At least that's one that turned out alright I guess, snow is neutral, the saturation of the trees (even in the shadow) is like, over the top in-your-face type of deal. 🔥
Technically it's a 4-piece panorama, plain cylindrical stitch, 10242 x 5666px, ~58MP. (Yes I do know, the UV cut-filter has most likely done nothing, but that's how I did it.)

Okay, so I could not resist to produce another crop of this IR pano I already made:

I dig this particular development, the color scheme and framing overall, the shadow from the trees in the foreground give a sense of 'looking out' into the beautiful open rural landscape, into the blazzzzing midsummer infrared sunlight.
Writing about improvements and failures recently, I more or less discovered now (after years) that the hybrid-focus approach with this 3-row panoramic layout is pretty much a blunder! I focus all manual, and the bottom row - the foreground - a bit closer than the middle and top line.
Turned out, that this not only makes it more error prone as well as more cumbersome, it is also inferior to a uniform infinity focus all the way through! My initial tests that brought that about were not wrong per se, but more of a special case and then one thing lead to another. Photography is a cruel mistress.
★ I just need to remind myself, that it was good enough so far, otherwise I would not have done it all, and that mistakes bring progress which is often uncomfortable but ultimately good, and finally, that nothing will ever be perfect, that's just the nature of things (resp. the mind)! May peace be with you..★
Technically, the source of this is a 36-piece mercator projection (trimmed 20791 x 12375px yielding ~257,3MP) that I cropped to 8:5 aspect ratio, 8851 x 5532px, ~49MP.

This is another slightly odd panorama, it's a 360° multi-row thing: 3 rows with 14 photos each, makes 42 in total.
It was already afternoon, mid October, so the light and season were way past the prime for infrared. Which, together with the dark 720nm filter and the shadowy location, meant me ending up with a shutter speed of 30 seconds.
Including a couple of test shots and including a 30 second in-camera long exposure noise reduction per image, the result was an active recording time of 45min!
And I had to constantly dance around the tripod on sloping wet rock covered with leaves, because the D90's only remote sensor is on its front side but I also had to get myself out of the frame too. A single bump into the tripod and the pano would have been ruined, one slip, me and the whole rig would have landed in the stream. It was quite an interesting experience to say the least.
So what you see here is a monochrome development of the initial trimmed mercator projection with a resolution of 21828 x 12226px (~266,9MP).
I feel like sharing some context and technical background (for all you infrared and panorama aficionados out there):
Here is a "crystal-ball"-like projection, where one can see what's missing to a full spherical panorama:

I loved the curve of the main tree right in the center, and palm trees make such interesting subjects to false-color infrared shooting.

So, ..for a change, some plain old facile stuff, very very simple. 😯
The mojo of the summer infrared panorama frenzy disappeared as sudden and complete as the summer itself did, not in the mood for photos for a good while, which is ..not a crime of course.
Was about to start a hike on the weekend and kinda kicked myself (mentally) to at least take a camera with me, just in case, but I was determined to not make it complicated, yet to remain faithful to my dear and near IR spectrum. So I dismantled the panorama rig, put the strap on (..the Nikon thong), popped my contemporary nifty fifty on, decided for 720nm only (AF works with this wavelength on the D3300) and switched my brain to monochrome.
It was a nice walk, some wind, some clouds, sun, clean air from all the rain, and back home on the computer, I succeeded in keeping it simple also, ..at least for a little bit. 😐
That's the result of a super old preset I made (LrC 3.4.1 and not with IR in mind): Plain stupid desaturation, no channel swap or WB adjustments at all!, basic tweaking (highlights, shadows, etc.) and subtle (non-split-y) split toning with something akin to an orange-ish yellow as finish. One click done.
I think it's okay, at least not a disgrace to the holy IR spectrum, it has the magic. But simple, basic, ..very straightforward (including randomness of the composition).
So maybe for folks eyeballing IR photography, yet a bit quenched regarding all the weird profiles white balance channel mutilation development shit: going monochrome in a rather simple way can yield something proper already. Or perhaps not, there is of course always the invitation / danger to make it full-on complicated and retarded right away too. 😜 Anyway..

First attempt at processing a full spectrum image on my new laptop - assuming I keep it! screen and resolution a bit small, and really should have calibrated it before I came away, so sorry if it's a bit garish! :D

This is a 16:10 crop of an infrared panorama (equirectangular projection) build from 33 individual images, originally 20151 x 10647px (214,5MP). The D90 itself delivers "just" 12,3MP.
