A Colorkey infrared processing, meaning blue sky and monochrome landscape, simply never loses its charm. This processing is possible with any Infrared filter that allows color processing. The Colorkey processing itself is done very fast and uncomplicated with darktable. Many thanks to Marion Reibetanz for providing the photo from the Cologne Vorgebirgspark!

However, if you accidentally set the camera to JPEG, you can still make something out of the image with such a file - provided that you have a good white balance in camera. What is possible and what is not you will learn in this tutorial with a 700 nm infrared filter. Thanks to Jürgen Meierdirks for sending the photo from Cochem in Rehinland Pfalz!

Infrared Photography is known to show familiar landscapes in an abstract, artistic and new light. In Astrophotography or Star Photography, however, it is more a matter of portraying the objects as "naturally" as possible, just as we see them. This is especially important for night landscapes, where there is also an exciting foreground to photograph.
