Congratulations to our sister Super Group R72 :iconr72: [link] which is having its 8th Birthday :squee: !!!

Check this out NOW ==> [link]


16052012

Our latest affiliate is non-real :iconnon-real: [link] run by my friend feigenfrucht [link] :iconfeigenfrucht: .

There is an Affiliates Gallery in the Favourites section of non-real where members from this Group can post an image per day on auto-approval. This is a reciprocal arrangement to the gallery set up here for Affiliate postings.

There seems to me to be a good overlap of interests, so please check out :iconnon-real: and develop ties as appropriate.

A Gallery/Collection folder "Affiliate Submissions" has been created in the Favourites area for submissions from affiliate members. Such submissions are subject to a one vote acceptance/rejection. Images need NOT be directly related to infrared or extra-visible imaging as we are providing this feature to showcase our colleagues' work.

For affiliate members to submit, they would use the normal "Submit to Group" button on the image display page, followed by selecting Infrared-Club, followed by "Suggest to Group Favourites", selecting the "Affiliate Submissions" folder.

QUESTIONS for the EXPERTS

Send a question via the Group's Comments Box and our experts will attempt to provide an answer.

For Example:

Auchencairn asks why sometimes skies are black in IR photos, but at other times they are not.


Nick (spigget) replies: Generally speaking the sky is mostly transparent to NIR (750nm-1400nm). Less rayleigh scattering, darker sky. For example, place a couple drops of whole milk into a glass of clear water and you will get a good model of the earths atmosphere. If you look at it up to a light source you will notice that the light source is a yellowish red color. This is because the shorter wavelengths of light are smaller and more easily scattered by the fat particles. The same occurs in the atmosphere. UV gets scattered the most and IR the least. The reason you are getting mixed results is probably more to do with the subject matter itself than the sky or the filter, although smoke/haze, and angle relative to the sun do affect the sky brightness in IR, and so do filters. For example, if you choose a subject such as a lush green rainforest or palm trees and take a photo of that with the sun to your back you will have very dark sky and very bright trees. Direct sun in combination with the scattering of light going away from you makes for very bright/dark contrast. If you shoot into the sun, you will see more scattering in the atmosphere and the side of the trees in the shadows. This is generally not as evident in the visible range because the sky contributes a lot to the fill in the shadow area.
Something that is a good experiment is taking your IR filter and placing it over your cellphone camera lens up close and seeing what things look like in IR realtime. >720nm fliter ish generally works the best in combination with a cheap phone or digicam. That generally gives me a rough idea of what the final image will look like.
Hope that helps, and let me know if you need any clarification.



Jonny (JonnySutton) replies: That would depend on the type of filter you are using, as non-IR light will slip through some filters and the sensor is MUCH more sensitive to these which means the sky will not be black, it also depends on your exposure setting, have you under or over exposed perhaps?

Other than that it would be due to the amount of IR reflected by the sky, I am not 100% certian but I would expect the amount of water vapor in the sky (temp and humidity would play a factor) this would alter the skys reflective characteristics, also, we see the sky as blue in the day, but as red at sunset due to the height of the sun and the way it scatters light in the atmosphere, I expect that would have an effect.

Feel free to add anything if you know more about this

Francy-93 [link] :iconfrancy-93: has provided an excellent introductory tutorial on how to take infrared pictures and how to post-process them ==> [link] .

This should be a must read for all those thinking of taking up the technique and for us older hands! Please also read the comments as those contain some very useful further ideas..

:squee:Many Thanks to Francy-93.:squee:

Interview of Okavanga by Stan Ragets

Journal Entry: Wed May 16, 2012, 3:33 AM
Stan Ragets (f--l--a--r--k here on DA [link] :iconf--l--a--r--k: ) has very kindly interviewed me for his blog on his web site. The interview, complete with images, can be found here ==> [link] .

I managed to mention this Group and to explain a bit about extra-visible imaging.

If you get the chance, please visit Stan's gallery here and his website, via my interview of course!

Cheers

David

I have posted a Journal article about my findings with my recently converted Canon 40D here ==> [link]

Comments and discussion are very welcome. The images are found in the Reference folder of this Group ==> [link]


Cheers

I've pinched yet another idea from Angela at :iconartworldtoday: - a Members' Journals folder in Favourites. Members who feel so inclined can post their journals or other material in this folder as follows:

On the journal page, click submit to Group, click :iconinfrared-club:, click Suggest to Group Favourites, scroll down to "Members' Journal", and click Submit.

Please let me know if you have problems.

David
