Hoya 77mm R72 Infrared Filter

The Hoya 77mm R72 Infrared Filter can make the sky darker and help to light up plant life. It offers provides images like they are from another planet, a visual appearance which many find interesting.

This Hoya filter is widely used, and suitable for general use. While they're certainly not that low priced to purchase hinging on the size, it will be more affordable than switching your digital camera to capture IR, which will involves eliminating the IR filter which happens to be in front of the sensor.

Green woods and vegetation reflect a lot of IR so they really seem white in IR. Blue skies include little or no IR, consequently no light is reflected, and therefore causes the sky to appear dimly lit, as if you took the photo at night.
