Messing around with some post-processing to kinda get the Kodak Aerochrome look.
It’s definitely cool, but this would only work with really specific suits. Can’t have any green on it!
Here’s some landscape shots. This look definitely needs harsh direct sunlight to work properly.
Unfortunately I live in the Pacific Northwest.
It's based on Kodak Aerochrome. It was made for surveillance photography of enemy land because all the plants and trees would reflect pink with the infrared, where man-mad stuff would show up grey.
Stuff like tanks and buildings that were painted to match the environment would show up as grey/green because they don't reflect IR nearly as much as foliage.

Thank you all for yor well wishes :) I’m getting better now, but it’s going to take some more days to get rid of that bone-deep exhaustion. I don’t feel like there’s any long-term residue, though, which I’m absolutely glad about.
Went out on my first little walk today, too, and took the above photos. Since a year or two, there’s a lens filter on the market which mimics the old Kodak infrared film (”Aerochrome”). It’s the red-plants-effect I like to emulate with my filter stack and subsequent Photoshop gymnastics.
The “IRchrome” filter is expensive, though, and also needs to be imported, so I ogled it from a distance until my partner made it this year’s birthday present. Thanks to the illness with the crown, it needed to wait until today to be inaugurated, but here it is :) Images are almost straight out of camera with only a little bit of additional white balance. I love it. This year’s infrared season will be IR-radiant.

Shot on a full spectrum Sony a6000, with a Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 AI-S and a Tiffen #12 filter. I put this together to showcase how these photos look as I shoot them compared to the finished rendering. It's meant to mimic the color model of Kodak Aerochrome, a long discontinued color infrared filmstock. The red channel of the finished image represents near-infrared light, the green channel is red, and the blue channel is green. Notice how the sky is blue but somewhat dark, that's because you're only seeing the green light in the sky rendered as blue.

Documentary Research - 3 Photographers
As my documentary project will be an infrared landscape one, I will be drawing inspiration from and researching both infrared photographers as well as traditional landscape photographers - as both will give me separate insight into composition as well as technical aspects etc.
Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams was a famous landscape and still life photographer. His landscape work consists largely of mountain ranges and peaks of National Parks in West America such as Yosemite and Yellowstone that were always very well thought out and meticulously calculated in terms of composition. He was an advocate for preservation and conservation of these areas.
Adams was an advocate for “pure” photography - a photographic style that denotes ultra sharp focus enhanced by the use of a very extensive depth of field - even going as far as helping found the movement group “f64″. Adams featured the full tonal range of a scene in his photographs, from bright whites to blacks, which resulted in very visually striking outcomes. It is also worth noting that Adams occasionally shot using infrared film to achieve a high level of contrast in his photos by darkening skies and bringing out highlights on mountains to bring out their texture. This is very similar to what I would like to achieve with my own work so referring back to Adams work while shooting will definitely help me.
2. Richard Mosse
Richard Mosse is an Irish conceptual documentary photographer. Primarily focusing on war reportage of conflicts in multiple African and asian countries, he does this with a very unconventional approach compared to other war photographers - using alternative printing and film techniques and equipment, such as infrared colour film, to produce vibrant other-worldly scenes intended to create a new perspective on the conflicts happening in the countries he visits. He is arguably most well known for their series taken of the war in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, taken on Kodak Aerochrome false colour infrared film which was intended for military reconnaissance use, so was a conscious film choice by Mosse. The vivid saturated colours contrast with the underlying narrative of what the scenes depict which is why I think they do well to provoke such emotion which is what I think war photographs should do.
It is very likely that mosse would have had to consider the moral implications of depicting these scenes of violence and death in an arguably pretty and scenic way could be misconstrued as an act of glorifying war.
3. Fay Godwin
Godwin was an English photographer and environmentalist. She developed a practice for landscapes in her thirties from being a dedicated hill walker. From a younger age, she honed her skills as a photographer from taking portraits of her family.
Godwins black and white film landscape work is what she is most known for, however - heavily featuring the British countryside, often with a focus on how mans intervention has affected the landscape. But what I find most intriguing and impressive about her work is her ability to create strong and thought provoking photographs from scenes that lack any real point of interest, instead using her master skill of composition and light to add atmosphere to her photos. I feel that drawing inspiration from her photos will help me with my project greatly as I will also be shooting similar landscapes with a rural feeling to them, so channeling her expert use of composition and light, combined with my use of infrared should result in some very striking landscape images for my zine.

Having Some Fun With The Infrared Camera
Trying Some Things Out With The Infrared Camera
Saturday night I went for a walk with my infrared camera with an idea in mind. I was going to make some photos and try and find a way to post process them to look like the famous Aerochrome film that Kodak used to make. I didn’t know if I could do it, but I was trying to put trees into my images with that in mind. The light was probably not ideal…
