Faux Infrared Experiment
This past weekend, I tried shooting infrared-style photographs at our campout (you can't do true infrarred with digital without permamnetly modifying your camera, which I am not willing to do.)
To be honest, most of my pictures just turned odd shades of pink and/or blue. Those magically turned into black and whites with a sweep of my (Photoshop) magic wand. However, there were several that worked and gave me the white foliage look I was going for. I have a few ideas as to why those worked more than others, but mostly I'm still in the dark. Eh, it was worth a try, and I'll give it another shot some other time.
Bored? Check em out here.

Ooh, I so loved looking at the experiment. Maybe you've inspired me to go out and be more experimental with my camera...
Really nice!
I'm not sure how you achieved these results (does your camera have a built-in infrared mode?), but if you want to play some more with IR images in Photoshop, there are third-party plug-ins for this purpose as well. ChromaSoftware (http://www.chromasoftware.com/ir_film.htm) and Alien Skin (http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/) both make these kinds of plug-ins. I've played a bit with Alien Skin Exposure, and have achieved some satisfactory results.
