How do I take infrared photos with my DSLR?

Set up your camera on your tripod and make these adjustments:

1. Set your ISO between 200 and 400, keep it as low as you can.
2. Set your Long Exposure noise reduction to ON.
3. Set your camera to shoot in RAW mode.
4. Set your camera to Aperture Priority (Av mode on a Canon), and your aperture to around f/8 for maximum sharpness.

What filter do I need for infrared film?

It’s recommended that you shoot with a #12 yellow filter which is the filter used on the images above. Many shooters also experiment with orange or red filters. This will give you varied results (see below). When not using a filter the film behaves like a normal film with no special characteristics.

How is infrared photography done?

Infrared photography uses infrared light to expose photos, a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies below the visible spectrum. Humans cannot see infrared light, but camera sensors can, and this IR sensitivity can be used to create images.

How are infrared cameras used to take pictures in the dark?

Film is usually sensitive to visible light too, so an infrared-passing filter is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum (the filter thus looks black or deep red). The effect is named after the infrared photography pioneer Robert W.

How do I post infrared images?

Summary of Digital Infrared Photography Post Processing

1. Setting a correct white balance for the RAW file to neutralise any colour cast.
2. Correcting the exposure and tones in the image to emphasise the white foliage.
3. Converting the image to black and white.
4. Adding any special effects like halation, grain, and a vignette.

How do you focus with infrared film?

To use infrared focus marks, you must first set your focus before placing the IR filter over the lens. After attaching the filter to the front of the lens, you then have to ‘shift’ the focus by the amount shown using the infrared focus marks.

Where is infrared photography used?

In the field of medicine, IR photography is particularly useful as infrared radiation can penetrate the skin, making problems such as varicose veins or venous blood easy to spot. Infrared is also used in dental photography because enamel shows up darker than dentin, the material that makes up the bulk of a tooth.

How do I take infrared photos on my iPhone?

You will have the best luck adding an IR filter to iPhone cameras that use LiDAR technology. LiDAR stands for light detection and ranging. iPhone cameras that use LiDAR include front-facing lenses that are sensitive to infrared light. That means you can use an IR filter with them to create infrared photos.
