This was fascinating! Thank you for posting. I never knew this about infrared light, and now I am curious to experiment too.

If you want to get your old digital SLR (are there any of those yet?) converted properly you can try companies like lifepixel.com. I’ll be sending my Canon 20D to them fairly soon. You can get some great images with a properly configured camera.

@4 I think water and ice have a dark appearance, at least liquid water does. I am not sure though. I can try it in the winter time and post again. I should also have a filter by then, a real one that is.

Hmm, could be useful in a second Winter War.

I am wondering about the infrared photo,that looks like a winter scene in the above Suomi photo…
I have seen snowstorms in Massachusetts that have caused everything,trees ,cars,the ground,and houses
to be totally coated in white,sparkly, snow and ice crystals.
When the sun comes out after the storm,it looks like a crystallized,totally white,mythical wonderland….Sort of like the above photo…I know people in Finland have also observed this effect many times also..
If you were to take a photo of the almost absolute,crystal whiteness,using infrared filters,what would the pictures look like!?
Would they have a dark appearance?

You might also look up the word “waive” in the dictionary.

winter, you dipshit, it’s the clown’s yard, not Phil’s.
Having said that, wtf? Does this come under the “culture” mandate of this blog?

Cut the Grass Phil. The weeds have won…or did your grass waive the white French flag of surrender?
