Continuing my experiments with developing infrared photographs with a false color scheme I noticed an interesting phenomenon. The first photo of a patch of ice in a wheat field (before the snow when the wheat sprouts were still bright green) illustrates this best. Not only does the sky appear blue when the red and blue channels are switched, but so does ice and snow, reflecting the color of the sky. In the last photo with the barn and house, there is only a bit of snow in the scene, in the immediate foreground. I decided to desaturate it in this case.
