The problem is that IR light effects the camera’s ability to record the visible light correctly. Most manufacturers put IR blocking filters over the digital…  Making Faux High-Key Portraits ~ Lightroom & Photoshop Making Faux High-Key Portraits ~ Lightroom & Photoshop Bright high-key images are very clean and help draw the viewer right to your subject. Here is a technique, inspired by a question from Jenny, for making your portraits look high-key even if you didn’t shoot them that way originally…. 
Beautiful! Reminds me of home (Maine). [Reply] 
beautiful photo, Kent. Again! ; ) [Reply] 
Wonderful clarity and colors. [Reply] 
Kent, where was this taken? We were in Maine on vacation this summer, and it looks familiar. [Reply] 
This is the Nubble Light in York, Maine. It’s beauty! [Reply] 
So I found 6 hidden watermarks besides the main one in the corner. But still waiting for one to reflect in the water. [Reply] 
Wow!! Love this! [Reply] 
Beautiful! I love Nubble Light! It’s one of the prettiest spots in Maine and there is an ice cream place nearby, LOL. [Reply]
Where’s Waldo? [Reply]
Ice cream and Lighthouses, hm? Sounds like a book title [Reply]
I thought that looked like Maine’s coastline! I grew up in the Downeast region of Maine, so I’m more familiar with West Quoddy and Bass Harbor lighthouses. [Reply] |

Love the blues – is it morning blue hour?

I’m guessing our Canon’s are similar to your Nikon and can’t see the infrared. I’m honestly a little surprised that the Fuji allows that light to pass through. Wouldn’t that have an effect on every image that you take on that camera?

This is so cool, I had no idea that some cameras could shoot IR photos! Something new to try out, if my camera is capable of doing it!
Thanks for your nice comment on my blog, I just started taking photos this year, and I’m loving every minute of it. I also love other bloggers who share their knowledge!

Fantastic tip – can’t wait to try out this test – though if my camera(s) can’t see Infra Red, tricky to choose which camera to dedicate! – or do you have a tip on imitating Infra in Photoshop? (I only use Elements, which I’ve found seems to do most things anyone not producing magazines etc might need….)

I take many pictures at museums where no flash equipment is allowed. I wondered about making an under camera chunk for my D700 with batteries, a strip of LEDs and a dial with on and off and variable resistance. The idea is to slowly illuminate the museum case in not too obvious a way to get enough light. A friend suggested infra red LEDs to be even less conspicuous however no good for the Nikon. A second idea would be to have a small LED in the centre of a rubber sucker plus battery and switch to stick to the cabinet to stop back reflection. I presume that nothing exists like this?

John,
It seems the LED would produce an obvious bright light and cause alarm. Afterall the reason for no flash is to reduce light dis coloring the artwork. While your ideas seem clever, I’m not sure they’ll pass security.
Instead, consider what can be done with higher ISO Settings. Surprisingly, most paintings in galleries are lit pretty well. I’ve taken images at the Art Institute of Chicago hand held with my D700 at an ISO 2000 with great results. So good as a matter of fact, I believe if the museum realized the quality possible today, they would ban all photography.
