Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye ... James Thompson
|
| Infrared radiation (IR) is part of the continuous electromagnetic spectrum. It has just a bit lower energy than red light (hence infra for below). Human eyes are not sensitive to these frequencies so special film and filters must be used to photograph using these wavelengths. These images have the characteristic look of IR: grainy, dark skies, subtly glowing skin tones, and white foliage. I made these pictures using Kodak Infrared film and an opaque Wratten #87 gel filter which completely blocks visible radiation; since IR is associated with heat, I called the series "In the Torrid Zone". What you see in these photos is what the film saw, not what my eye could see. |
