Similar to a high-pitched whistle that dogs can hear but we can't, infrared light is outside the range of what our eyes can normally see. The cameras listed here are modified to photograph this hidden part of the spectrum. Grass and foliage, which reflect infrared, appear glowing white. Lakes and rivers absorb infrared and appear dark and dramatic. Blue sky turns black, with bright white clouds. The result is a natural landscape transformed into an otherworldly, almost magical photograph.

You’ll see two different kinds of infrared cameras listed here, "enhanced color" and "black & white".
Our black & white cameras capture a very narrow range of light, purely in the infrared part of the spectrum. The result is dramatic, high-contrast images that are almost completely monochrome.
Our enhanced color cameras capture a wider part of the spectrum, for color images with an otherworldly look. They can also produce great black & white photos, although without quite as much contrast as the dedicated black & white cameras.
