  • Cosmos (pig/pd) by Rene Hales

    This is an original IR image that I printed with inkjet pigment ink (CMY colors) and then printed the K channel as a palladium negative layer. This is my first experiment in this process. I am using information from Dan Burkholder and Ron Reeder in trying to figure this out. First, the Epson Ultrachrome inks do work and do not wash away when you print with the palladium sensitizer and then wash the image in the darkroom. I think I learned a lot about printing the inkjet portion and want to go back and work on that. I think I will print in much the same way that I normally do on fine art papers. I think this will vary the color and get closer to what I am after. More work to do. Canon EOS 30D, Infrared-ONLY / Images are copyright Rene Hales and may not be used without permission.

  • Old Growth Mountain Ash by Ern Mainka

    Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans), Yarra Ranges National Park, Victoria, Australia. / _ This old giant (approx 350 year old) was known as The Furmston Tree (also The Von Mueller Tree). It was featured in early Victorian Railways and other tourism photographs of the 1930’s to 50’s era but taken from a different angle. / _ By 2000 it was decaying from the inside with a large open hollow on one side. It finally succumbed to strong winds and collapsed. It officially had a circumference at breast height (CBH) of 19.5 meters but being on a very steep slope made it difficult to measure. / _ Nikon F3. Infra-red B/W film, PS sepia toning. Photo taken 1996. / _

  • The Paddock by Naomi Frost

    I’ve been experimenting and would like to know your thoughts on this. This started out as a ‘yellow toned’ infrared imaged. I put it through a CS2 Plug-in called “Topaz Adjust” – it does a sort of HDR thing. Then I created about 5 layer masks to get the different colours and painted them in. What do you think??

  • Playa Colada in IR by Jase036

    I went with some of my family to Playa Colada in Rio Chico, Miranda state, Venezuela. The water had a lot of residue due to recent storms in the area, so it wasn’t very good for swimming, and the sun was pretty high in the sky so the light was harsh and contrasty, so I decided to shoot in IR =) / This is an IR image in false color of an inlet where the waters from the canal and the ocean meet =D / 1 RAW processed in Adobe Camera RAW, in Photoshop CS4 swapped the red and blue channels, then applied levels adjustments, noise reduction and sharpening.

About This Group

Exploring the world through infrared eyes.

So what is infrared photography??

The peculiarities of infrared photography lie in it’s ability to capture what the eye cannot see. Infrared photography captures radiation wavelengths just beyond the visible spectrum. Characteristics of infrared photographs are deep black skies, bright white foliage and sometimes bright blue skies. Often quite mundane scenes can be transformed into extraordinary images when captured with infrared.

How do I take infrared images?

Most cameras are fitted with sensors to cut out infrared light. To combat this you will need to attach an infrared filter to your camera. These are referred to as R72 filters. You will probably need long exposures so a tripod and a shutter release cable will be a must. To get the best results always shoot in RAW. You may also want to set a custom white balance. Do this by shooting at a patch of green grass. Also remember, that infrared photography works best during the heat of the day.

A little word of warning

Infrared photography can become quite addictive so just be aware that once you start….you may not be able to stop. But that’s why this group is here…come and join us and share your passion for the mystical world that is created by infrared photography.

And one other thing….. please abide by this group’s guidelines here.
