Black & White Infrared
I'm getting back into photography (it has been a while), and came across some b&w infrared pictures on the net. I think these have amazing depth to them.
Have any of you shot this type? Any tips for getting started? etc...?

True infrared requires special modifications to typical digital cameras. Normal digital cameras have a glass filter in front of the sensor to eliminate infrared signals. This has to be replaced with another piece of glass. Modifications start at around $350 or $400 a camera.
But you are right, infrared does look very cool! I've been tempted to mod one of my cameras before. Some day, I suppose.

True infrared is not reproducible in photoshop. You can mimic it, kind of. But it still does not look like true infrared.

I didnt see any of his work but he did talk about finally sending off his D70 to be modded for dedicated IR. Sounds interesting...

I was just playing around with my camera and took a pic of the tv remote and it did indeed pick up the infrared. I might look for the on lens filter and play around and see what I can do....

I might be stating the obvious here, but all infrared renderings are "false value" or "false color" because, since the human eye can't see infrared light either in nature or in photographs, the infrared values have to be converted into visible ones. Even infrared devices like FLIR convert spectral information from below the visible end into visible light.
I say that to say this: if Photoshop mimics infrared in a pleasing way and matches your photographic goals, rock on. But Carpey is right that visible light photos manipulated to look like infrared are not the same as true sub-750nm imaging.
