Hidden colors (revealing the infrared light not visible to the naked eye)

This photo had two different shades of green, which translated into two different shades of infrared. I like the striking bright pink of the forward grass along with the darker, more hidden color of the trees in the background.

This is my favorite photo of this set, it encompasses the macro view of a few blades of grass, with the landscape captured behind, as well as the distinct patch of brown in the middle. The disruption of the bright colors with a dull brown is what makes this picture for me.

In this photo, I tried to capture very little green, but still enough to be noticeable. The picture is relatively the same as the original, but with just enough change to be recognizable as an infrared photo.

This photo is of a tree with green leaves in the background, with a tree with distinct red leaves in the foreground. By switching to infrared these colors were switched. The tree in front is now green, with the other being red.

This picture seems almost unreal. The pink grass behind the rocks has purple highlights, while the rocks and ground themselves have very earthy tones, creating a strange imbalance in the front and back of the photo.
