I do find infra red photography really fascinating..so i am wondering if there’s any other fans of infra red here as well? *
Those who don’t know about it..here’s some information about it:
**INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHS ** are created by using black & white infrared film, which records the effects of infrared light, a spectrum beyond our range of vision. The film is exposed through a reddish filter, which absorbs blue and green light and makes way for the invisible infrared light to do its magic.
**THE EFFECTS: ** Green leaves appear white, giving the image an unearthly, dreamlike or silken quality. It also reflects off sunlit grassy areas and the skin of fair-skinned people. All these surfaces may go white - even halate - in a positive print (below). Water, which reflects blue sky may appear dramatically black. Tree trunks, wood or metal structures usually go dark and add contrast to the blown-out leaves. Skies are often darkly dramatic, but clouds remain white and very dimensional. Because the photographer cannot see infrared light, the results are always a gamble and a surprise.
** TIMELESSNESS: ** People in black and white infrared photographs are not distinctly recognizable, and trendy details of garments and hair-styles are minimized. Therefore the prints resist being dated, and create an ambience of suspended time.
Very nice photographs, but I think they have been touched up somewhat. Infra red catches heat radiation, and I don't think heat radiation gives such good resolution by itself.
I love all forms of photography, but B/W and Infrared have something magical about them (if done properly). These photos are great. I will post some from my collection soon.
Al-Quran = Al-baqarah
11. When it is said to them: “Make not mischief on the earth,” they say: “Why, we only Want to make peace!”
12. Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.
