Custom Infrared Digital Photography
I bought a camera more than eight years ago to document the birth of my son. Read more here.
The Canon PowerShot G3 is now technologically obsolete and the camera was sitting on a shelf unused, and almost forgotten.
After looking around on the internet for something fun to do with it, I decided to convert the camera for infrared photography. Almost all digital cameras have a “hot mirror” filter that blocks infrared light and lets through visible light. I removed that filter and replaced it with one that blocks visible light, and lets only infrared through.
The resulting images are false-color infrared, which have had the blue and red channels swaped. The resulting images show a haunting reality of energy that we cannot see.
