Explore the world of infrared photography with the 40.5mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695 from B+W. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to partially block the visible light spectrum, allowing both visible and invisible IR components to be recorded. Unlike stronger infrared filters, this model offers a more subtle effect, resulting in black and white contrasts that are not overly high, making it an effective tool for photographers looking to experiment with different levels of contrast.
The B+W Infrared Filter is renowned for creating extreme contrasts, taking advantage of the existing residual sensitization to produce experimental black-and-white photos with high contrasts. It beautifully renders green leaves and grasses from bright to white, offering a unique perspective on the natural world. Achieve the dramatic "wood effect," characterized by a stark contrast between clouds and sky, adding depth and drama to your landscape photography.
Please note that while this filter allows for creative infrared photography, it is not a substitute for a thermal imaging camera. The infrared photography achievable with this filter should not be confused with thermal photography, which forms images from infrared radiation in a much higher range (from about 10,000 nm and above).
Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the 40.5mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695 from B+W is a reliable and versatile tool for exploring the possibilities of infrared photography.
