#aerochrome

Let's talk IR photography. Infrared. What was once achieved with the advent of aerochrome film, the greatest of all films that Kodak stopped producing in 2009, can now be achieved digitally being a full spectrum conversion of your dslr or mirrorless camera and the use of an IR Chrome filter. Aerochrome film was originally developed in the 40s to detect camoflage. IR and full spectrum photography allow light beyond the visible wavelengths to be detected by the sensor. Cameras normally filter this out. When the filter is removed you can get spectacular images of red or white foliage and cyan skies. You can also use channel swapping and hue shifting in your photo editing software to emulate the look. The issue with this method is that it isn't exact and if anything else happens to be one of the swapped or shifted colors they will get edited too and it won't look great. I DREAM of doing IR and full spectrum photography but it is not something I will easily be able to afford. So please enjoy some aerochrome like IR emulated with my editing.
