Infrared

These are some shots from last month that I have added the infrared effects to. There are 3 different ways to capture IR photos. 1. Have your camera converted to capture infrared light, once converted the camera will not be able to take normal photos. 2. Use a film camera with special infrared film. 3. Special IR filters can be purchased that filter out all the visible light leaving only IR light.

Infrared photos were first published in early 1910 for magazines and journals. This kind of photography didn't become popular until the 1930's for film and movies, then for recording artists album covers in the 1960's.

Now a days, we use digital cameras and their sensors are not able to detect thermal images, but under the right settings digital can record IR.
