Seeing In Infrared - Kansas City Skyline From Kessler Park

The infrared spectrum gives a stark portrayal of our world. Just out of our visual realm, infrared allows us to view things in an altered way. These were taken with the Nikon D70s using an infrared filter which blocks all visible light. Shooting has to be much more deliberate as you have to shoot in manual, compose and focus..then add the filter and press the shutter. Exposure is trial and error.. These were shot at F8 , 6 seconds, at ISO 200. Converted to black and white in Photoshop, the original images are red

 

Invisible, Yet Visible

Elmwood Cemetery in Historic Northeast Kansas City shot with a digital camera and infrared filter.  The filter blocks visible light from reaching the camera's sensor so only the infrared spectrum shows up.  Exposure and focusing are by trial and error.  (A lot of the latter.)
