Infra Red Photography

Shooting infra-red images require a special piece of equipment called an IR filter. This filter, as you may have guessed, only allows infra-red light to enter the camera lens. The down-side to this is all long exposures need to be used in order to get enough light in to expose properly.

Once the image is in Post, a few tweaks need to be applied to flip the colour scheme to a more pleasing arrangement.

The final results you can see below. This is an image of a bandstand in my local park on a busy summer Saturday afternoon. The blurs you can see are people moving around!

Let me know what you think of this technique and it's other worldy results.
