Thank you,

Sure, Diandra
The camera I use is a Canon Rebel T3 which had the IR blocking glass filter inside the camera removed to let in the full spectrum of light. On a regular DSLR camera they have this filter inside the camera to block both ultraviolet & infrared light. If I take a picture with just this glass filter removed it will have a reddish hue to it. So I also have to put a IR passing filter on my camera lens which blocks a lot of the visible light but lets most of the the infrared light come in. I also have to adjust the white balance too. The picture now comes out like a silver-ish black & white photo. I then have to use Photoshop to bring the colors out more and sharpen because they have a flat dull look to them. I'll have to post a before & after pic of how much color is hidden in the photos. It's a long process but I like when it works right.
