Nothing special about this building other than I liked the compositional possibilities. The contrast is there, as you'd expect with IR, but the lines and curves add some interest to the surrealistic image. That arrow in the foreground creates a tension in the composition since one is left to wonder what other option there is for a driver following this curving path.
The photographs over the next few days are all Infra Red and taken with my converted compact camera. Since Infra Red applies to a limited band in the electromagnetic spectrum (720nms to 1mm), and invisible to the naked eye, these photographs provide us with a glimpse into a parallel world to the one we can see. Here the IR makes the forest structure look like the living organism that it is. It's very reminiscent of the structure of blood vessels for instance.
Unlike the cyanotype method which goes back 180 years to the dawn of photography, Infra Red photography specifically dates from the publication of American physicist Robert Wood's IR photographs in the February 1910 edition of "The Century Magazine" and in the October 1910 edition of the "Royal Photographic Society Journal". Wood took an otherwise scientific process of spectrography and adapted it to capture landscapes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Wood
Country: Iran
Location: Khanegah
Train: 480 from Tabriz to Mashad
Täglich um 13:40 Uhr verlässt der Schnellzug 480 Tabris. Die grösste Stadt im Nordwest Iran ist täglich mit mehreren Zügen mit Teheran und Mashad verbunden, auch wenn die Bahn gegenüber dem Auto deutlich länger unterwegs ist. Dies liegt an der Streckenführung die deutlich indirekter verläuft als die Autobahn. Aber eine Neubaustrecke ist bereits im Bau und wird wohl nicht mehr lange auf sich warten lassen.
Finally, some green and sun appeared in Montreal's parks. Not ideal IR condition yet but much better that last five months :)
Channel swapped 720nm infrared landscape fun. IR is a great way to make pictures when conditions aren't right for other kinds of photography.
Also, using this old modified Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS6 really makes me want to try a newer camera in that line. It's very small and very straightforward to use.
Still have a lot to learn about editing though. [Edit] Workflow improvements have helped.

Improved my editing process, and I think I can get cleaner IR results from that little 1/2.3-inch sensor. Still some other maintenance to do on the camera, but this came out well enough that I'm going to share it.
This is a Panasonic Lumix ZS6 with the hot mirror removed and a 720nm filter. I then swapped red and blue channels in post to get yellow trees and blue sky instead of the reverse, and did some additional color adjustments.
I really like IR skies. IR reveals quite a bit of detail and drama.
These images are also my fall fix before the leaves have even started to change.

D610 IR-converted with internal 720nm filter..
Much of the USA is experiencing a winter storm with snow, sleet and unusually cold temperatures. In Florida this afternoon, the temperature is 75ºF with clear blue skies and strong winds...
PS - I liked the lens flare...
The sharp lines and shadows in this infrared photograph made it an obvious choice for a straight black and white. The sun is very low and striking these rocks very brightly at an acute angle. I have done nothing to darken the sky or the water.
A physics lesson is useful here: The darkness of the water is explained by the fact that rather than infrared light being reflected back (as in wavelengths of visible light through to ultra-violet) infrared light is absorbed by the water. Apparently it does not penetrate too far into the water either, and water is said to have a quenching affect on infrared. Remember of course that all photography is of reflected light. In this case we are only seeing reflected infrared light, so the water is black.
