This comment needs more attention!

In case anyone is wondering, this is the infrared photography of David Keochkerian. Here's a link to some more of his work if anyone is interested.

you have to modify your camrea to be able to take infrared photos right?

[–]Bennyboy1337 0 points1 point ago

Yup, modern day DSLRs have a infrared filter built into them, so to take infrared photos you have to remove that filter, then add a filter the removes all other bandwidth of light on the sensor.

[–]mokthraka 0 points1 point ago

awh... maybe I'll do it when I get a newer camera someday.

could you do it with just a cheap point and shoot?

[–]onemantwohands 0 points1 point ago

actually he is not correct. You can use a IR filter on DSLRs BUT its like 15 stops down so the exposure time is really high.

Or you can mod a DSLR by taking away its internal filter and there is no need for another IR filter.

[–]kill_that_robot 1 point2 points ago

actually it's clearly photoshopped. you can see splotches of green missed when recoloring the trees. still looks pretty cool though!

[–]sourfunyuns 1 point2 points ago

I think you're right..

[–]shittyanalogies 58 points59 points ago

I don't think those are purple trees, this is just infrared photography.

Ahh, the road to Azshara

[–]belhock 5 points6 points ago

Thank you, exactly what I was thinking.

[–]rrearleii 5 points6 points ago

Fixed

[–]FishMonkey 5 points6 points ago

This is the shotover river in new Zealand, near queenstown, if anyone is wondering. In November a type of yellow flowering bush called Scott's broom blooms.

[–]monkeywithamandolin 7 points8 points ago

this has been posted countless times and every single time it's been pointed out that this is infra-red and not natural. a beautiful picture but don't be misled.

[–]Lunchable 0 points1 point ago

It's totally natural. This is what this scene would look like through the eyes of a snake or a fish. (snakes and fish can see infrared)

[–]MegaG 16 points17 points ago

But can a snake or a fish see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

[–]OmniaMors 0 points1 point ago

context?

[–]DreadedClaymore 1 point2 points ago

Nope, Kesha just queefed

Dangit, god bumped the 'tint' knob on the TV again.

Just don't go for a weekend canoe ride with your friends there.

I love that texture pack! ...wait a second

[–]Church_of_Realism 0 points1 point ago

Putting the old blue stream through the purple forest. Don't mind me, I'm just taking it for a spin.

[–]zatallis 0 points1 point ago

They missed a tree...

If no one has said it... REPOST.

[–]Milfanie 0 points1 point ago

I want to live in that world.

[–]Higlac 0 points1 point ago

I really need to buy some IR film.

[–]Crazzymax 0 points1 point ago

Colour IR film is rare and disgustingly exoensive. On the other hand B&W IR film is a lot easier to come by and not AS expensive. Be sure to buy a IR720 filter otherwise it won't work.

Source: I shoot B&W IR film

p.s exposure is a pain.

[–]Turtle_The_Cat 0 points1 point ago

I've heard development can be really finicky, but it sure does look amazing.

Also, don't expect reasonable shutter times unless shooting at high noon in Death Valley.

[–]peachykeenymi 1 point2 points ago

everything looks so much nicer through infrared photography!

[–]LemurFace -1 points0 points ago

Photoshooped.

Thought I was the only one who noticed. Some people..

[–]ruby_byte 0 points1 point ago

At first I was like whoa what unusual colors. Then I was like oh, water is usually blue.

[–]briannabear -2 points-1 points ago

My boyfriend consistently tells me how things on Pinterest were popular on Reddit months beforehand. However, I've seen this picture on Pinterest numerous times since I got one a year and a half ago. HA boyfriend, HA!

[–]Quercus_lobata 0 points1 point ago

Infrared trees pictures were popular on reddit years ago. Though I can't speak to this specific image, so continue feeling smug if you like.

[–]makuserusukotto 1 point2 points ago

And I've seen this picture multiple times on Reddit.

HA!

It's like reposts are everywhere!

[–]briannabear -2 points-1 points ago

At least the actual point of Pinterest is reposting.
