Some Infrared Testing
I've wanted to get into monochrome infrared imaging for quite a while but this has been one of those projects that keeps getting pushed to the back burner because it wasn't a priority. Photographing in infrared is challenging with a very unique and distinctive look. One of the reasons why I seem to keep pushing infrared photography to the back burner is that environmental and weather conditions must be "just right" for infrared imaging to work well. You need the right weather conditions, the right environmental conditions, and the right scene for infrared photography. You also need to use a tripod and infrared filters. Just getting one good image can require many minutes of getting everything just right and then actually capturing a long exposure image. The first step toward getting involved in this type of imaging, however, was to see which of my camera bodies were best for this type of imaging. I finally accomplished this over the past two days. This wasn'
