Infrared.

As I was stumbling around the internet the other day I came across some artistic photos taken with an infrared camera.

I was intrigued.  Enough that I got online and found a pretty cheap infrared camera ($89), they had some pretty nice ones for a lot more money but I wasn’t going to invest several hundred dollars into something I wasn’t sure I’d like or even be good at.

So, mine aren’t as good as you’ll see on the link I gave above, but the camera just arrived today so here is an example of my first attempts.  The first sets have 3 versions of the same picture, an infrared one, a regular color version and a copy of the color one in black and white.  Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Weird one here.  I know I moved the camera when I took the picture, all of the hand-held pictures I took were blurry.  But the movement on these two stars, or whatever they are, is not consistent.  One is a nice smooth arc, the other a zig-zag. 

Here’s that infrared picture colorized.

    I like the pine needles a lot. The leaves were cool, too.

  6. I'm going to have to play with colorizing them some more, it does give it an interesting effect.
