What is Infra Red Photography?
Infra Red Photography isn’t something out of a science fiction film, nor is it the stuff of make believe. Infra Red Photography is a great technique that utilises an ultra sensitive film to make use of light that is visible to the naked eye, as well as light that is not such as longer length light waves. These light waves are above 700nm and include infra red radiation.
More sensitive camera films are able to pick up short light waves, for example UV rays. All of this means that the films are very sensitive and can pick out aspects of an image that regular camera films cannot. This means that they can be used for uses such as scientific discovery and analysis. For example, you could use Infra Red Photography to conduct an aerial survey of a forest.
Infra Red Photography is also used by art restoration experts to restore paintings to their former glory. One thing they are very capable of however, is creating stunning images.
It’s worth experimenting with infra red photography to see what sort of images you’re able to produce, as you’ll find you’ll take some beautiful pictures that would look great framed or printed on canvas.
