Infrared Photography at the Los Angeles Arboretum
I ventured out to the Los Angeles Arboretum on Sunday and took photos using an infrared filter for my Canon SX1 IS digital camera. Pretty cool, eh?
Infrared light is invisible to the naked eye but with the help of a filter, you can see the world from a completely different perspective. Objects which are bright in visible light become dark. And objects normally dark become bright. Very cool and eerie at the same time.

What do you need to get started?
An infrared filter such as the Hoya R72, a digital camera that can take add-on filters (Digital SLRs and some prosumer cameras like my Canon SX1IS), and a tripod. You’ll also need a photo editing program like Adobe Photoshop for post production.
