Interesting in infrared…the unseen world!
Dabbling in infrared along a hiking trail at Swan Lake, Victoria, Vancouver Island, BC.
This is not the sharpest pic by any stretch but the coolness of infrared far outweighs sharpness by a long shot.
This photo was captured on a wee Panasonic DMC-ZF5 point-and-shoot infrared converted camera which a friend of mine recently sent me as I expressed a keen interest in exploring a new photography world.
Here’s an excerpt from Photography Life regarding Infrared photography:
“Infrared, or “IR” photography, offers photographers of all abilities and budgets the opportunity to explore a new world – the world of the unseen. Why “unseen”? Because our eyes literally cannot see IR light, as it lies just beyond what is classified as the “visible” spectrum – that which human eyesight can detect. When we take photographs using infrared-equipped film or cameras, we are exposed to the world that can often look very different from that we are accustomed to seeing. Colors, textures, leaves and plants, human skin, and all other manner of objects can reflect IR light in unique and interesting ways, ones that cannot be mimicked with tools such as Photoshop (yes – there are limits to what Photoshop can do!).”
