THE INFRARED FARM

  I love black and white photography — the reduction of an image to pure tonality for me renders the image in a special way for me. All images in this series were captured with a modified Canon 5dII that had the sensor filter replaced with a 830nM cut off filter. This means that an image captured by this camera are imaged with light that is invisible to humans, where vision typically ends at about 740nM.

These images are rendered in B&W due to the fact that there is no color data associated with the wavelengths of light that formed the image. Most of the images in this section exhibit typical characteristics of a deep infrared image — brilliant white foliage and blue sky that goes from a middle gray horizon to a deep gray/almost black at the apex.
