False-Color Infrared
A color film that records near-infrared light and shows it as vivid pink and red foliage. Kodak developed it in the 1940s for camouflage detection; musicians and photographers adopted it for psychedelic effect in the 1960s.

Why it happens
A three-layer film is sensitized to infrared, red and green instead of red, green and blue, so strongly infrared-reflecting leaves are rendered as magenta and red.

Keep the original subject and composition intact.”
