Infrared - Beyond Vision

Mark Schretlen


These images capture reflected infrared light that is outside the sensitivity of the human eye. Lighter areas in the images reflect the most infrared (foliage, snow) and darker areas reflect almost no infrared (blue sky, asphalt). A Canon D60 (modified by Roger Salmon of the UK) is used for the majority of these images.
I maintain an Infrared Topic here at PBase.

New images are at the beginning of the gallery.

Mark, in this beautifully evocative and powerful gallery
you have demonstrated to us the potential power and
appropriate applications of infrared !
There is a striking and arresting power to reversal and
unexpected accentuation of certain elements.
You have shown that these techniques are not second-best
alternatives to colour, but rather that it frees us from the
tyranny of colour, and encourages us to concentrate on
the other photographic elements and techniques.
These include tone, texture and contrast, all of which
can be substantially enhanced by the exclusion of colour.
But most important is the enhancement of mood,
atmosphere, drama and spirit.
And you have succeeded admirably in this regard!
Outstanding.
Congratulations.
