Infrared photography can capture some of the most stark and emotive images possible. Unfortunately it can also look like complete rubbish if done wrong. Along with this selection of infrared photos from the good Creative Commons people of Flickr that we think are pretty cool, are also a few links to further tutorials and resources on infrared photography that you might find useful. Be sure to click through to see what these talented people are photographing and sharing!

Hi llan and admin. All of my images on this page (including the bird and wave pictures) were taken with a camera that was specially modified to take infrared images using fast shutter speeds. The camera was modified to remove the internal IR blocking filter found in all modern digital cameras, and replace it with a visible light blocking/IR pass filter. Although I also use photoshop to balance and improve the dynamic range of the images, there is no "IR effect" used here. Thanks for your interest!! Zach

i love ir photography because of the characteristic ghostly feel caused by the long exposure times.

From my experience, IR photos are taken by long exposures. So that bird and wave photo (and few others) seems like a semi-IR or rather black and white photos.
Nevertheless, great photos :)

@Ilan - yeah, if you look at the tutorials in the footer, we have a section on using photoshop to get the effect so I am positive that one at least, is a PS job.
