For this photo, in the early evening I pulled over on the very quiet Highway 69 between Mariposa and Oakhurst. I mounted the camera on a tripod, and waited for some cars to appear at the edge of the image.
I then exposed the image for 30 seconds, (f8, ISO 200) so the lights from the cars would streak across the image.

I recently bought a digital canon, a D60, that has been converted to shoot infrared. Now, you can’t quote me on this, but here is to the best of my knowledge how this thing works.

In my new IR camera, someone has taken out that filter and placed instead a filter that does the opposite, blocks visible light and allows IR to pass.
If I’ve got that wrong, let me know in comments.

Then, I took the camera to the Big Sur River with some friends, and here are the results:
