Infrared Photography

Sir Frederick William Herschel, a German-born British astronomer, discovered infrared light on February 11^th, 1800. While using a variety of coloured filters to view sunlight, he observed that some colours passed more heat than others.

         Infrared cameras are now used for a wide range of things such as emergency response. Firefighters use them to look for hard to see spots through smoke or even walls. Police helicopters use them to find fleeing suspects in the dark or in heavy brush. Infrared cameras can also be used to locate areas in buildings with extreme heat loss, allowing for better insulating practises, or even by Military to trace enemies in the dark and underground tunnels/facilities. Infrared photography can be achieved by using an infrared filter or by editing the photo in photoshop.

Artist Statement:

For these three images I used an online tutorial to help guide me through the process of creating an infrared photo. I did not use a special filter with the camera, I edited each picture in photoshop.The steps were easy and didn’t take long to complete. 

The theme of my photography is “The Path Less Travelled By”, inspired by Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” which can be found on this website.
