BLACK AND WHITE
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
Infrared photographs have
a very special look and feel. By rendering skies black, foliage and stone
white, these images possess strong contrast, pronounced grain and a distinct
dreamy appearance that puts them in a category of their own.
Back in the day we
used the legendary Kodak High-Speed Infrared Film / HIE which is now
discontinued. It was notoriously fussy to work with (especially while on the
road) and it was difficult to lay one's hands on a steady supply. The results,
below, made it all worthwhile.
This tradition of
infrared photography is now carried on with modified DSLR cameras.
