A few decades ago, photography was only a stream of visible light passed over a sensitive material. It had no dimensions and nothing new.

Colour infrared photography involves capturing the infrared rays in your camera. This photography was once considered impossible but with the technological development taking place worldwide this statement was proved false.

Almost all photographic cameras have infrared blocking filters in front of them. This filter stops all the infrared light entering the camera, hence to be able to do infrared photography with your camera; you need to first need to get some conversions done.
