| | wrotniak.net: Infrared Photography with a Digital Camera |
 | | To answer the question briefly: photographs in infrared show quite unusual tonality, different than that to which we are used, and this may make them esthetically pleasing, at least in many cases. |
 | | Here is a brief comparison of the infrared filters, including those made by B+W, Hoya, and Tiffen as of November, 2004, Those generally available in glass (as I've checked at B&H in November, 2004) are marked in bold. |
 | | The small amount of visible (far red) light which this filter lets through does not affect pictures enough to spoil the IR effect, while coloring your images red (or purple), therefore they need to be converted to monochrome in postprocessing. |
