this was my attempt to simulate a winter wonderland (get it? white leaves?) using an infrared filter, a tripod, and the digicam.. i even went above and beyond by putting on my hood! i must add that it was about 75 degrees when i this shot was taken. fooled you all, eh? who needs snow when i have the handy dandy camera?
this infrared filter actually works quite well. most cameras don't capture infrared light. by using a special red filter, the camera can actually record infrared light and it has some eerie effects. most common is that leaves turn white (they reflect off infrared) and the sky turns dark.
it's almost (ALMOST) as good as using a manual camera and infrared film. the graveyard shots below were taken with special infrared film, a red filter, and my ancient manual camera. i think i posted them a few months ago on this blog. sorry for being so redundant. anyway, i processed the photos myself when i was taking photography courses in college. i took this about 5 years ago... check out how eerie it looks. i love the grainy film.
can u tell a difference between the digital infrared shot (top photo) and the manual camera infrared shots (bottom)?
here's a classic infrared-type photo i found on the internet. taken by graham lyth. obviously i'm not up to his level yet. i think i'm taking shots during the wrong time of day...
good god. 3rd post in one day.
well, what can i say? vox is pretty nifty.
some old shots i wanted to share. i took these photos about 6 years ago using high-speed infrared film and a red filter on my manual slr. i believe i developed it using the same chemicals as you would with regular b&w film. it's a shame prints like these can't be made from regular film and cameras. i'd like to see the world through infrared eyes.
this surreal shot was taken at chino hills state park, practically a stone's throw away from where i live. i walked up the trails and found this random empty tool shed sitting in the middle of the hills.
eerie shot taken in the middle of the afternoon at a graveyard in pomona. some of these graves dated back to the early 1800's.
.. edit.
added photo. cherub on top of a tombstone. i'd like a grave like that.
