I Photographed Rome In Infrared
13Kviews
I converted my old Nikon D3200 into an infrared camera so I could capture the city of Rome in a different perspective.
In this way I was able to give the series a somewhat peculiar look.

thanks!
The infrared setting on a digital camera is not actually infrared, it merely creates infrared-like effects. For true infrared pictures, you must use a film camera and shoot with infrared film.
Turns out he even have pictures modifying the camera on his blog: http://www.milanracmolnar.hu/blog/2016/7/6/infravrsben-a-vilgthe-world-in-infrared
You can modify them to capture infrared by removing the filter that's inside the camera or use an external filter that blocks all visible light. The sensor is really sensitive to infrared so you can definitely shoot infrared with a digital camera.
These images are captured on a digital camera ( in this case a Nikon D3200) that has been modified to capture the IR light only. The IR blocking filter inside the camera has been removed and replaced with a dedicated IR filter at the wavelength requested by the costumer, different wavelengths produce different results. The types often used by companies are: 590 nm, 665nm, 720 nm [ Hoya R72 and common], 800nm, pure black and white only IR and 900 nm deep black and white only IR, in the old film days the trees would glow and Full Spectrum [ the camera becomes sensitive to picking up UV light, the visible portion and IR light], for this conversion you will need to use external filters on the lens to capture the portion of light you wish to use. Lifepixel offers a Super Blue conversion too [ essentially the 80B Blue filter] and Kolari Vision has a new 550nm filter [ essentially a Hoya Orange Filter] which produces Crimson foliage like old colour IR film.
that's pink for sure, but highly doubtful infrared...
I worked for FLIR systems for 5+ years, this is not infrared.
so I thought...some photoshop filter maybe?
FLIR cameras is thermal imaging IR which deals with heat not the near IR portion which deals with light like these photos, they are two separate things so don't confuse them. This is done with a converted camera but you can buy a Hoya R72 infrared lens filter [they can be pricey depending on the size you want]and use it on a digital camera even unconverted, although it will need a longer exposure time and depend on the Camera type [some have weaker IR blocking filters] and a tripod of course and preferably have a live-view option, as the viewfinder is rendered inoperable due to the darkness of the filter [best to cover it though with tape or the cap provided so as to not let visible light enter and bounce around the pentaprism and defeat the purpose of capturing invisible light]. So this is not fake IR, after White Balance correction [either in camera or using a DNG profile], photoshop is only used to swap the channels using the Channel Mixer option.
FLIR is using a totally different post processing than a regular D-SLR, you can't compare them at all.
