When exploring the world of infrared photography, the 49mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695, offers a unique perspective. This moderately strong infrared filter allows a blend of visible and invisible IR components, creating a unique balance that doesn't entirely block the visible light spectrum. The B+W Infrared filter is a specialized tool designed to enhance contrasts, making it ideal for experimental black-and-white photography. It capitalizes on existing residual sensitization to produce high-contrast images. Green foliage, such as leaves and grass, are rendered from bright to white, adding a surreal touch to your photos. One of the standout features of this filter is the ability to create a "wood effect," which results in a dramatic contrast between clouds and sky. This effect can add depth and drama to your landscape photography, making your images stand out. It's important to note that while this filter is designed for infrared photography, it is not a substitute for a thermal imaging camera. The infrared photography produced by this filter is often mistaken for thermal photography. However, thermal photography forms images from infrared radiation in a much higher range, starting from about 10,000 nm and above. In conclusion, the 49mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695, is a versatile tool for photographers looking to experiment with infrared photography and create high-contrast, dramatic images.
