I love how infra red photography takes nature photography one step further.
Half of the focus battle as a photography is due to blue light. Since blue has a short wavelength it scatters more than red light which has a longer wave length. This scatter is what gives photographs their fuzzy edge.
Since an infra red converted camera is insensitive to blue light it is insensitive to fuzzy.
However as humans we are adapted to fuzzy. Unlike radar-enable bats fuzzy is what we use to interpret distance. If it's fuzzy then it's further away than something that is less fuzzy.
Take fuzzy out of the visual equation though, as in this shot, and everything 'seems' much closer when in fact it's not. It just looks that way. I love it.
