My first IR photo

In 2006, I got curious about infrared photography. It’s not something many people were doing, especially digitally, but I liked the idea. I had seen film infrared images and wondered what it could give with a digital camera.

The difficulty was that all sensors have anti-infrared filters that made the cameras essentially blind to it (because portraits look weird and fuzzy in infrared, and it can bring blochiness to the skin). To take photos, you needed a filter (e.g. R72), and very long exposures to compensate for the internal filter. With a Canon 350D, that made the operation fairly difficult (hello banding!).

Since then, I’ve acquired a modified Canon 1200D without the infrared filter that makes it possible to do handheld IR photos.
