Infrared Photography – A Brief Primer
January 22, 2010 by GuestPoster · 1 Comment
Infrared Digital photography is popular due to the unusual effect that it produces; an effect that is appealing to the observer. Infrared photographs showcase unusual tones which are radically different from what people are used to seeing and it is this quality that makes them interesting to look at. For a long time, it has been difficult to take photos using infrared light due to the use of film. The photographer had to handle the film carefully and it was not possible to evaluate the photos taken until the film was completely used up. This made the process unpredictable and often resulted in production of disappointing photos.
Since digital photography started being used, it is relatively easier to carry out infrared photography. The only requirement of a photographer is to acquire some infrared accessories fit them into their digital cameras and its photography time. The sensor array’s reaction to infrared light and the filter used on the photographer’s camera for viewing the visible spectrum’s farthest end determine the quality of the photos taken.
The art of infrared photography entails using invisible light. To shoot infrared photos, the photographer has to get rid of all visible light. This will leave the infrared light only which is then used to take the photos. Thus infrared filters are needed. There are cameras with pre- installed threaded lenses for use of filters and the photographer only has to purchase the appropriate thread-size glass so as to fit the filter normally. Normally, most cameras do not have these threaded lenses and the photographer will need to use his or her creativity to install the filter.
Subjects of infrared photos have different appearances. Leaves usually give a whitish glow and the skin looks like porcelain. The sky as well as water looks black. After the photos are taken, the photographer can use de-saturation to manipulate these photos into the desired image.

Basics of Digital Photography

Photography is a French word but with a Greek meaning which is to “draw with light”. The primary requirement for photography is light. The light collected in a photograph through the camera’s sensor is referred to as exposure. Photographers will get washed out photos if they expose their pictures to light for too long. If the exposure is too short, this will result to photos which are dark. With growing technology, cameras now come with light meters which measure the amount of light exposed to a picture. Photographers should however not rely too much on the meter but focus on learning how to control the exposure in order to achieve outstanding results.
A camera comes with controls for aperture and shutter speed. Aperture refers to the opening in a camera that lets light in otherwise known as a lens. Shutter speed is the time that light is exposed to the sensor. The sensor’s sensitivity can be changed to either increase or decrease the speed of light which is referred to as the ISO. Use of light in digital photography determines the quality of photos. The angle of light will also add detail to a photo. Light can be used to indicate depth, create silhouettes and even brighten dark backgrounds. The angle of light can also be manipulating to give out picture effects like moonlight in photos and lights in motion which will add creativity to photography.
Digital Portrait photography will require photographers to have basic skills like taking still photos. The object should be captured when their attention is not on the camera as this makes portraits look genuine. Making faces and smiling does not work for portraits. They should ensure that the background of the object is darker to create a perfect contrast and emphasize more on the object. Photography in black and white brings out features that most of the times go unnoticed. Composition of a photo takes a creative and keen eye which gives detail and quality to a piece of photography through diverse points of interest.
