The 590nm camera, though its zen is a little different from that of the 720nm one, is starting to be a lot of fun. Here, I took white balance off the sidewalk (I didn't have a gray card with me and I wanted to find out, anyway, if it would work) and was surprised at how close everything except the foliage is to its visual light coloration. Yes, I know that 590 includes some visual light, but I also know that I swapped channels with this -- try *that* with a white light picture!
I used to shoot a lot of IR B&W film in 35mm and 4x5, but I didn't like color IR film because it was just too far out with the red skies. Now I love digital color IR largely because of the channel swap. It gives you surreal colors but with the blue skies to have some basis in reality.
