George was inspired by a colleague to take up infrared photography in 2017 while they were both in India. They took black & images of Indian landmarks and scenery.  Such images feature dark skies and bright trees and shrubs. Unseen detail comes out of clouds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

George will demonstrate how infrared images may be created with a regular camera or even a cell phone using a simple infrared filter.  The next step up is using a converted camera with an internal infrared filter.  In a converted camera, the internal filter that blocks infrared light which would otherwise blur the image and is replaced by a new filter that allows infrared light as well as part of the visible spectrum to pass to the sensor.  One advantage of a converted camera with an internal filter is that one can use a variety of lenses without worrying about external filters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full spectrum conversion entails removing the internal infrared filter without replacing it.  Instead one must use an external filter to block a portion of the visible spectrum.  Such images look bizarre as if from another planet, but a red-blue channel swap using Photoshop or other software can make the colors more aesthetically pleasing. George will demonstrate making a such a channel swap. Yet other filters such as a chrome IR filter can make pleasing images without requiring a channel swap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most flexible is a full spectrum conversion which requires using one of a variety of external filters. That can be limiting in that your choice of lens may be limited by the availability of filters to fit different lenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

George will bring in a variety of converted camera and filters and has a variety of images to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
