Article: Infrared Photographer Exposes Hidden Views (http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascitystar/news/local/states/kansas/counties/johnson_county/cities_neighborhoods/leawood/8450497.htm>)
Summary: Taking infrared photos involves using infrared film that picks up visible light and invisible infrared wavelengths which create unusual photographic effects that cannot be seen by the eye until after it is developed. To take such a photo, a filter, special film and different camera settings are necessary. The photographer doesn't know what the photo will look like as he or she takes it.

Interesting. One would think that would be frustratrating, though... not knowing if your picture at all turned out until after you have it developed... at least, even with film cameras, you have a pretty good idea ahead of time if it was a good picture or not.

with film i have once. waiting right now for my filter to get here for the digital so i can go out and play . it was suposed to be here fri. but you know how the mail gose.
as far as what you see it is like using a normal film in alot of way as far as set ups and stuff i always looking for something out of place, or i look at things in a diffrent veiw IR film makes some neat effects on things that you see dayly and never think of
trees to me almost look 3-D and they turn white in most cases and some buildings look dark when you know they are light . or it will make almost like a horor film aperence to some things. it is fun to see what you get . but the one thing i can say with the film is keep it in a cool dark place till use and even then keep it dark the darker the better.
