Kodak Aerochrome is a legendary film unlike any other. It is a false-color, near-infrared emulsion that is as beautiful as it is challenging to develop. It's also tough to find because Kodak killed it over a decade ago.
Airglow, not to be confused with auroras, is a colorful atmospheric phenomenon typically visible to typical cameras only in very dark and clear night sky conditions. The sky above New York City definitely doesn't qualify as "dark," but that doesn't mean it's impossible to photograph airglow, as Ty Buckley has shown in new YouTube videos.
British documentary photographer Edward Thompson released an infrared medium-format photography book, The Unseen: An Atlas of Infrared Prints, in 2016 and is showing selected works from the book at the Saatchi Gallery in London until March 3.

Like Paris, where I live, New York is one of the most photographed cities in the world. Creating an original photo series is therefore a major challenge.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a protostar that was previously hidden from other space telescopes in a dark cloud known as L1527. The photo reveals what appears as a "fiery hourglass" and gives astronomers insight into a new star's formation.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new celestial image that depicts two objects, described as "glowing clumps," that are found around some newborn stars.
X-ray data from NASA's Chandra Observatory has been combined with the infrared data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope to create new composites that make the most of each's data gathering capabilities.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a mid-infrared image of the spiral galaxy IC 5332, which shows an entirely different view compared to what Hubble is able to see of the same region.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured its first direct image of a planet outside the Solar System. This exoplanet is a gas giant that has six to 12 times the mass of Jupiter and is relatively young: between 15 and 20 million years old.
A woman created an artificially intelligent (AI) infrared camera rig using a Rasberry Pi to monitor her cat's poop after she discovered it was eating plastic.
NOVA, a PBS award-winning science series, has premiered a new special that chronicles the James Webb Space Telescope's journey into space through the capture of its first incredible photos.
The James Web Space Telescope team is fresh off the exciting reveal of the telescope's first full-color photographs, but those images aren't the only ones the observatory has captured. Hidden in its commissioning report were stellar photos of Jupiter.
NASA has finally published the first colorized, full-resolution photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and the detail and resolution of the images is incredible, especially when compared to the images of these same cosmic objects captured by Hubble.
NASA has shared all five of the first full-color photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope which demonstrate the full power of its imaging capability and officially kicks off its mission to unfold the infrared universe.
Aerial cinematographer Doug Thron uses a commercial drone equipped with both an infrared and a normal camera to detect and save trapped animals from disaster zones -- including most recently in Ukraine.
DIY-er Sean Billups has transformed his old Google Pixel 3A into a multispectral camera that can view in Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) wavelengths that are not normally visible to the human eye.
Scientists from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a camera system that can recognize the colors of the infrared spectrum that doesn't require the converting to the visible spectrum after the fact, a normally costly and time-consuming process.
Financial districts are more known for their buildings than for their parks: from the Financial District of NYC to the City of London, these places are synonyms of concrete, steel, and glass, not parks or flowers.
NASA has shared a new image that has been captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and side by side with the same cluster of stars captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope, it's clear how much better Webb's MIRI camera is.
One of the James Webb Space Telescope's key instruments that will allow it to see some of the first galaxies that ever formed has passed a critical milestone. The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) has reached an operating temperature of minus 447 degrees Fahrenheit.
Scientists from the University of California at Irvine have developed a camera system that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with an infrared camera to capture full-color photos even in complete darkness.
Ansel Adams was born on February 20, 1902, in San Francisco, California. An exceptional photographer and environmentalist, he is best known for his iconic black and white images of the American West.
Two researchers from Cornell University have created a wearable infrared smart camera that can detect voice commands even if the speaker isn't making a sound by measuring the neck and face from under the chin.
Like most photographers, I love black-and-white infrared images. There is a purity and intensity to a well-crafted monochrome image, and there are many software options out there to help convert an image to black-and-white.
During the summer of 2021, I was invited by a close friend living in Latvia to visit the country for a few days. Totally foreign to the Baltic countries, I was able to discover Latvia through different aspects, from its capital Riga to national parks and forests, passing by a memorial of the Second World War.
VSCO has announced a new set of blue and pink-hued "infrared" filters for its mobile app, specifically for VSCO members. The new filters allow photographers to mimic the look of infrared photography in two additional color spectrums.
Infrared photography is mostly used to create alternative and dreamy landscape pictures during bright days, giving nature specific hues from clear white to vivid yellow or red. But this technique has also a high potential in urban photography too, moreover at night.
