Infrared

In infrared photography, the film or image sensor that is used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 900 nm. The two cameras that I have had converted are: 590nm Super Color which provides for a super vibrant foliage and intensely colorful sky. With the red & blue channels swapped the foliage takes on a golden orange tone and sky a beautiful royal blue. The most surrealistic, color infrared filter available. You may be surprised to know this IR filter is also great for black & white IR photography, especially if you want full control of all the elements and love tinkering in Photoshop. You can either edit the images in false colors or black&white. The other camera is a 830nm Deep Black & White filter and since the image is captured as BW infrared straight out of the camera there is no need to manipulate in photoshop unless you want to fine tune the BW look. This is their strongest IR filter producing the darkest sky and whitest foliage. It is strickly a black and white camera. The two infrared converted cameras were produced by Life Pixels Infrared Camera Conversions. They do an extremely professional job working with you to convert a camera to the various infrared and/or ultraviolet conversions that they have. If you would like to see what they offer, please go to their website - https://www.lifepixel.com/ - I would highly recommend them.

The following infrared images are both color (590nm) and B&W (590nm & 830nm) that haven’t been used in the other categories. For instance there are quite a few Infrared B&W images in the Buffalo National River category that will not appear in this category, even though they are infrared photos.
