Pawleys Island in Infrared — This bichromatic infrared image records two different exposures capturing different wavelengths of invisible infrared light, and maps them onto complimentary colors in the visible spectrum. The "red" channel was captured with a 720 nanometer "near" infrared filter, whereas the "cyan" channel was captured with an 850 nanometer "far" infrared filter. ("Far" is a relative term here; for most applications both frequencies would be considered near-infrared, but I use "near" and "far" just to give context.)
Both the grasses on the sand dunes and the inflatable raft on the bench seem to really glow in the far infrared region.
Captured with a Nikon D7000 camera body, zoom lens at 18mm, and Polaroid IR720 filter for the red channel, and a Neewer IR850 filter for the cyan channel. Thirty second exposure for the cyan channel, two second exposure for the red channel.
