Taken around the block. False color IR image. Yes, I blew the reds waaaay up because I like how they burn my retinas.

All spot on!
I will mention as an add-on that it's entirely possible to take IR photos using a standard camera and an IR filter such as a Hoya R72. The downside to this is that normal cameras don't take in much IR due to filtering so you have to do a long exposure. The image ends up mostly red (since the filter itself is very dark red in visible light) so you then just turn it monochrome. Skies become dark, foliage becomes bright.
It's all super cool and the best part is nobody can tell you you're wrong. You just make it look the way you want it to be.
