Winter

After some initial and difficult research on winter,  (difficult because it is not winter and I am trying to think outside the box on how to produce a winter feeling without showing anything that is actually wintry...) I have decided to go with an infrared effect. This is a type of photography that I have seen before but not experimented in. I do not own an infrared camera and I do not have the time required to get a camera converted, I am therefore going to try to reproduce this effect in photoshop.
 
What is infrared photography?

For me the colour I associate most with winter is white, for the obvious reason of snow but also because for me white can be a cold colour when used in contrast with dark colours. I know white can be percieved as hot (white hot for example) but for me it is a cold colour. Infra red photography (or conversion through photoshop in my case) produces images that have a distinct wintry feel, even when the images are far from a wintry setting.
