Take photos with light that is invisible to the naked eye
1 vs.
Infrared photography is a photo taken with infrared light , whose wavelength is longer than visible light and is invisible to human eyes. Let infrared photos be taken in black and white.
The following are comparison photos, let’s take a look at the effect.
No filter (monochrome mode)
Use Kenko PRO1D R72 infrared filter
No filter (with color effect)
Compared with photos without filter (monochrome mode) and PRO1D R72, the light and dark contrast is the opposite. The green leaves in the R72 photos turn whiter, while the blue sky is darker.
Infrared photography is characterized by white green leaves and black blue sky.
2 Snow-sensing
Photography through infrared filters, green leaves and clouds appear white, while blue sky and water surface appear black. The leaves appear black in normal black and white photos, but white in infrared photos. This phenomenon is called the snow effect.
No filter used (monochrome mode)
Use Kenko PRO1D R72 infrared filter
The green leaves reflecting sunlight appear white, like snow.
3 sports
Infrared photography is basically a long exposure of several seconds to dozens of seconds. Therefore, on windy days, the leaves are blurred and the clouds flow, creating a sense of movement.
No filter (monochrome mode)
Using Kenko PRO1D R72 infrared filter
Infrared photography also has the advantage of being able to clearly capture distant objects. Comparing the distant mountains in the center of the picture below, the photos taken with R72 clearly show the mountains.

Use Kenko PRO1D R72 infrared filter
4 Color shooting
Infrared photography is generally black and white, but there is also a way to enjoy color infrared photography. If you shoot in color (RAW) and use image processing software on your computer to replace colors (color swap), you can create a more marvelous and primitive expression. Monochrome and color, if you try it at the same time, the fun will double.

5 Skills
Shooting photos with typical infrared photography contrast is to combine objects that reflect infrared rays and objects that do not reflect infrared rays into one photo.
Objects that easily reflect infrared rays: Green leaves
Objects that do not reflect infrared rays: blue sky, water surface
On sunny days, there is a large amount of infrared light outdoors, which can take infrared photos with high contrast, especially in summer when the sun is strong. The green leaves are full of vitality, creating a pure white and dreamy image. Infrared is unlikely to reflect in backlit or semi-backlit subjects, so Please take on sunny days.
