HOW DOES IT WORK ?




 Visible light: 400-700 nm, near infrared 700-1200 nm. Above : mid infrared and
far infrared (thermal imagery)

 IR filter : block most of the visible light and let near infrared hit the CCD.
WHY INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY?




 Gives a dramatic, surreal effect, an ethereal white glow to the pictures


 Foliage and grass reflect infrared radiations and appear much brighter in IR
Different foliages have different IR reflectance as well as foliage affected by
disease or insect infestation.


 Blue sky and water appear dark.

 Depending on the light, textures can be revealed in more details.


 Skin also can give interesting tones.
CHALLENGES IN IR PHOTOGRAPHY


Focusing and depth of field

 Visible vs IR: different focus distance:  tricky to produce
sharp images 

 If no lens with IR marking
 Focus bracketing
 Hyperfocal distance

Exposure
 IR filter very dark  indications given by the camera cannot be trusted 

 Typically 2 to 15 seconds exposure time  Tripod

 Long exposure  interesting results on water and clouds 
Equipment

 Variable results depending on body and lenses
 blocking IR filter (hot mirror) on top of CCD’s  cameras more on less
sensitive to IR. The hot mirror can be removed to make a true IR camera (or check
on Ebay).
 Flares or hotspots on some lenses 
My gear
                                          Canon Powershot G9
                                          Lensmate lens adapter
                                          Hoya R72 filter 58 mm
                                          Hoya ND4 filter 58 mm
                                          Small tripod




 Universal IR Hoya R72 filter: 50% cutoff 720 nm  some visible light get throught
CANON G9 SETTINGS


 RAW @ 80 ISO, hyperfocale distance

 Excellent tutorial here:

MY 10 STEPS WORFLOW

Open Raw with LR2

Set color temperature 2000, tint -50

Remove noise Luminance 60

Chromatic aberration : all edges

Export as jpeg or tiff
Open in CS3 swap red and blue channels: red 0 blue 100, blue 0, red 100
Image--> adjustements levels blue and green

Image ---> curves define gray point
Import in LR2 adjust hue/saturation on the different channels.

Export as jpeg
