Framed And Shot
We have converted a Nikon D200 to Infra Red photography. It is a new way to see the world. Places and objects seen in the NIR (Near Infra Red) is both very familiar and very strange. Sometimes even hard to recognize.
Our senses tells us how to understand the world, but they sample only small slices of the reality around us. Our senses are limited - in a way they tell us the reality and fool us at the same time...
Think about our ability to hear - what if we could hear beyond 20-20,000 Hz, as dogs do? Think about our ability to see, what if we could see beyond the narrow visible light band at 400-700 nm?
With our InfraRed camera we extend our senses. It is a new world, and it is hard to anticipate how a scenery will look like when rendered in IR. Typically green leaves turns out very white, almost like covered in snow, and the sky becomes very dark, as do still water.
