Infrared Filters On The Canon Powershot G12
I've got a Canon Powershot G12 that I paid to have modified so that infrared light can reach the sensor. Almost all digital cameras have internal filters to block infrared. I got just today a filter mount that allows me to put filters on the G12, so I experimented with dark red and infrared filters on it.
This is how the camera sees the Cereus peruvianus in my back yard with no filters at all. You can see a little bit of pale blue-green color comes through.
When I switch the camera to black & white mode, you get this look, still unfiltered.
Still in B&W mode but now with a dark red filter installed in front of the lens.
Same camera, same B&W mode, but now with an infrared filter mounted instead of dark red. Obviously not the Cereus peruvianus this time. The plant near the lens is a bougainvillea in bloom. I somehow did not photograph the cactus again in true infrared. Maybe tomorrow, if it's sunny.

Four Infrared
Digital infrared photo of Cereus peruvianus. This is a cactus I brought with me from Boston where it used to live on my windowsill. It's grown quite a bit.
The next three photos were shot on Rollei Infrared 400 film at the Los Angeles County Arboretum.

Four Deserty Photos
Golden barrel cactus in Desert Hot Springs shot on Ilford Delta 100 film in May 2021.
There is a hummingbird sitting on its nest near the center of this photo. I didn't have a long lense to capture it correctly, and my experience with hummingbirds kept me from trying to get up close. This is inside the greenhouse at Moorten Botanical Garden in June 2021. Rollei RPX 100 film. This link will take you to the full-size image (6144 × 4072).
