Messin' with IR


Just a couple shots of Nia back in warmer days, the top one is an infrared image taken with a little Olympus 2020 and an infrared filter, the one below that is standard "visible light" converted to B&W. IR is making a comeback now that some digital advances have made it more practical than the old ways of shooting expensive infrared film and getting special processing and hoping for the best. Comparing these two shots, the primary difference is visible in the sky and trees, where green leaves photograph as white. In portraits, IR can create some eerie effects with the subject's eyes and coloring. Hope to play with it more soon.

The shot below is another IR... I love the eroticism of her position in the "crotch" of the felled tree.
