Infrared Photography
Recently I’ve received a handful of questions regarding my infrared photography. I’ve only been shooting IR for a year or two, so I’m hardly an expert at this. I actually love color and color photographs, but there’s something so interesting in the possibilities of IR. I figured I could help shed some light on the subject, and hopefully get more useful tips from others out there who shoot IR. So here goes nothing….
My “rig”
I am using a Canon G3 with a R72 IR filter. Sure, it’s not a fancy digital SLR, but I like to travel light and don’t have all the money in the world to spend on this. As for the filter, this is the “cheapie” IR filter, with other more expensive versions available. I have no interest in the scientific descriptions of the properties of light, so I’ll stick with my cheapie from ebay. If anyone out there has used any of the other alternatives, I’d love to hear your thoughts (as long as you can explain things in layman’s terms).
