If you were to see an infrared image, at first glance it would almost appear like a negative. The sky might be really black. The foliage might be really white, and it might have a real eerie sort of ethereal quality. That's kind of a hallmark of an infrared image. Infrared images are produced in two different ways.
You can use a DSLR camera with a external filter on the lens, or you can use a special back or body, where the digital sensor has been modified in such a way that it receives just the infrared spectrum. Originally, infrared was, of course, film and filter based. So they'd have film that was very sensitive to infrared light. It was a very fast film, kind of grainy, and then they used a really dark red filter just to filter out the visible light. So the only light that actually hit the film was in fact infrared.
The good news is that for photographers that wanna do something a little different, a little bit more creative, give something a different look, infrared photography is really easy to do and very popular.
