Before venturing into the ethereal world of infrared photography, equip your camera with the B+W 67mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter. This high-quality, professional-grade filter is designed to transform your visual storytelling by blocking the entire visible light spectrum. As a result, it appears nearly opaque, capturing only the pure infrared range above 830nm without the intrusion of visible red light.
Crafted with precision, the B+W 67mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter ensures reliable performance and durability for photographers who demand excellence from their equipment. Its unique black and red coloration is not just for aesthetics; it serves a critical function in filtering out unwanted wavelengths, allowing only specific infrared light to pass through. This selective transmission is what gives infrared photography its distinctive look, characterized by extreme contrasts and otherworldly tonal renditions.
With this versatile filter, you can exploit your camera's residual sensitization to create experimental black-and-white images that stand out with their high contrasts. Watch as green foliage transforms into bright or white tones, creating a surreal landscape that defies conventional photography. The dramatic "wood effect" becomes possible, showcasing stark contrasts between billowing clouds and the deep sky, a visual feast for the eyes and a signature of infrared photography.
Please note that while this filter opens up new creative possibilities, it is not intended for thermal imaging. Infrared photography, as enabled by the B+W 67mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter, captures light in the non-visible spectrum to create striking images, distinct from the thermal imaging technology that operates at much higher wavelengths (from about 10,000 nm and above).
For photographers looking to push the boundaries of their craft, the B+W 67mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter is an essential tool, offering a gateway to the unseen beauty of the infrared world.
