as far as my understanding goes, the image is made up of the infra-red wavelengths emitted / reflected off surrounding objects, rather than the visible light normally used to form the image. I've noticed IR photography produces really sharp images

Some cameras can be converted while others can use special filter attached to the lens that allows only certain light rays to pass. The image is normally red out of the camera and must be adjusted to get either a colour or b/w effect. Leaves and other vegitation reflect lots of light and will come out white as seen below. Skies that are blue can come out black. Some people like the effect while others think it is a waste of time.

Very interesting, thank you both. This wasn't about whne i did my GCSE's and A levels in photography and to achieve those kind of result with such "drama" in the contrasts would have taken a good few hundred shots of the subject, allowing for bracketing either side of the ideal set up and then hours of messing about in the darkroom trying to get the right exposure onto the paper. Oh boy i miss being in a drakroom, that was always fun and magic at the same time.
Anyway, sorry folks my indulgently self educational derai is now over...carry on like it never happend wont you :) |
