C0UN74Y51D3: P0531D0N

Infrared photography opened so many doors to my creativity. I wanted to create a piece to showcase a little of the possibilities and I had to do it through a dynamic NFT!

You can click on the image to change the wavelength of the image! Starting with the wavelength of 665 nm, then 850 nm, IR Chrome to end with the visible light. You can see how this beautiful local tree is changing through four different filters.

This tree is near Aclens, in Switzerland. I captured it a few times already, but never from the front. There are fields all around, so I can capture it from that angle only a couple of times a year.

// About infrared photography

Infrared light is emitted by the Sun and is reflected by all organic matter. I modified my camera by removing two pieces of glass that kept infrared light away from the sensor. With this home made full spectrum camera, i can now capture IR light, visible light and UV light. From there, I use filters to get the result that I want.

The first images has been taken using a 665 nm filter, to get that dark blue sky and the orange-ish leaves. This filter doesn't block all visible light, but let some red to hit the sensor to get that look.

Then you have a black and white image, which is infrared light only, using a 850 nm filter.

The third one is taken using the IR Chrome filter. That filter mimics the look of the Kodak Aerochrome, which gives this red foliage.

The last one, you might have guessed, is taken in visible light, also with a filter to black the IR and UV light.
