Photo Corner - Fun with IR

A few weeks back, I read an article about shooting foliage pictures using infrared film. It's kinda like an enhanced black and white... it gives everything a cool look to it. I got all excited. Then I drove all over the place looking for IR film, but nobody around here had it.

However, I did find a Photoshop plugin that gives your digital photos almost the same effect. It seems to work really well on high contrast pictures with a lot of red and green. Here's some examples.
