Infrared photography is a special technique in which you use an Infrared Filter, which you attach over your lens like any other lens filter; then take an exposure using a fairly long shutter speed (dependent on light source). The IR-Filter blocks all other light and allows only Infrared light to pass through onto your sensor/film. The photograph you end up with has a very red/magenta Hue, which now presents us with the task of post-processing the photograph to create an interesting representation of our world in Infrared light.

Black and White images have been neglected ever since the introduction of colour into film photography, due to the fact that colour is ‘best’ and what we see (colour) is the true beauty of a scene/object. As this is the case now, whenever black and white images are created it is perceived as a kind of artistic aesthetic that the photographer has wanted to achieve and considering colour is the norm now, this photograph is viewed in a different light and more of an artists creation rather than the representative. So, we hope to get you more creative in experimenting with your photographs with these easy Black and White conversion processes!

When wanting to combine two or more photographs for a higher dynamic range (HDR) or correcting an overexposed photograph, we mostly use programs like Photomatix, however it is sometimes too difficult or frustrating fiddling with the settings for minutes getting nowhere. So, there is an easier way and in certain cases much better than an HDR especially if you want to avoid those really surreal photographs. Digital Blending is the way to go, you can be much more selective with your increases/decreases in dynamic range and get more realistic results.
