You use infrared film or a digital camera that has been converted. Everything else is pretty much the same. I think you can also get a filter for Photoshop that does a conversion, so sort of a pseudo infrared.

well from what i know of infrared.
check to see if your camera can receive infrared.
get a remote control. point it at the camera. look at your camera screen or view finder. and while you're pressing buttons, if you can see a red light then you're good.
the next step is to buy an infrared filter.
you'll need a tripod because it takes a while for light to travel through the infrared filter.
so a long shutter speed is recommended.
and that's basically it.
i haven't tried it myself yet.
anyone feel free to add or correct me if i am wrong.
hope this helps!

There is a company called LifePixel that converts DSLRs to Infrared. www.lifepixel.com
My friend Deborah Sandidge has a new 4 week online class at Better Photo for Infrared photography.
She is an amazing photographer and her IR & HDR images are incredible. To check out her class, go to : http://www.betterphoto.com/courseOverview.asp?cspID=203

I have a photo of Deb shooting a cow with the Alps in the background in my gallery and
the photo of me in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral was taken by Deb :)
If you are interested in Infrared photography, check out her class.

Most digital cameras are very IR sensitive. In fact it's a problem, so they put IR blocking filters inside. Often though, some IR still gets through. With a strong visible light blocking filter and long exposures (tripod usually necessary) you can shoot IR with normal digital cameras. This is actually a lot like shooting IR film, which is usually very slow (the stuff I used to use was rated ISO 12).
A converted digital camera is the way to go, IMO. I had a 20D converted by Lifepixel, and I love it. Shutter speeds are high enough for handheld shooting, and digital is so clean looking compared to IR film. Of course the problem is that in most cases the conversion means the camera is no longer a visible light camera, so you have to have a camera to dedicate to IR.

Yes, this is my photo. Lifepixel is very reliable. They have done thousands of conversions for pros and enthusiasts. Average cost for converting a DSLR is $350. Image quality remains the same as before the conversion.
Some modern lenses don't work well for IR because their multicoatings block some IR, or cause it to reflect in-lens and cause hotspots. You can buy high dollar, dedicated IR lenses, or older, classic lenses that don't have fancy, modern multicoatings, and adapt them to work with your camera.

I spent a lot of time researching IR for digital and found some really great artists (though they were French and Icelandic so they did not know of anything in the USA) but they highly recommended purchasing an IR lens as being the only equipment needed. They claimed that conversions were not high quality and could be complicated and costly and reduced your camera to one specific use. They didn't do anything to their cameras and just used the lenses. At their suggestion, I called around the US, and it seems as if no one rents them (you can rent them in France), and they go for $5,000 and up, so it's expensive, but the quality is superb, and if I ever get that sort of money, that's what I'm getting after the $6,500 Nikon 200-400 VR.
