Shooting with Infrared Film

WARNING several things to consider when shooting infrared:

1. Keep infrared film cold.
2. Load infrared film in complete darkness.
3. Use a filter when shooting infrared film. (Red25 or an IR)
4. Better to photograph in early or late day light, not mid-day, never at night.
5. Choose landscapes, live things for your subject.
6. Consider the sky- dramatic clouds look amazing.
7. People look creepy- pale, eyes are black and veins are pronounced. 

In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nanometre to about 900 nm. Film is usually sensitive to visible light too, so an infrared-passing filter is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum (the filter thus looks black or deep red). ("Infrared filter" may refer either to such a filter or to one that blocks infrared but passes other wavelengths.)

When IR filters are used together with infrared-sensitive film or sensors, very interesting "in-camera effects" can be obtained; false-color or black-and-white images with a dreamlike or sometimes lurid effect mainly caused by foliage (such as tree leaves and grass) strongly reflecting in the same way visible light is reflected from snow. There is a small contribution from chlorophyll fluorescence, but this is marginal and is not the real cause of the brightness seen in infrared photographs

This is a BW Infrared project, but you are welcome to try digital infrared, but it seems that you need specialized/adapted camera equipment.
