At the outset, let me clear a myth. Some photographers think that when we use an infrared camera (or a standard camera with an IR filter attached) we are recording the heatwaves given off an object. That is incorrect. That genre of photography is known as ‘thermal imaging’.
Why Infrared Photography?
IR photography opens up a new way of recording things. Tones, colours, and textures look very different. Some people love it, some don’t.
When to shoot in Infrared?
Normal (non-Infrared) photography is generally done when the light is ‘soft’ or ‘medium soft’ (early mornings/late evenings). Infrared photography is done when the light is harsh (nearing noon).
Requirements for IR photography
You can attach an IR filter to the lens or you can use a standard camera converted to IR.
Advantages / Disadvantages
Simply attaching an IR filter on to your lens is obviously the simpler and cheaper way out. The disadvantage is that the shutter speeds will get too long for hand-held photography. This means you can only photograph static objects. And even if you do use a tripod, you cannot stop subject movement with such long exposures.
An infrared-converted camera allows you to use any and all shutter speeds, thereby not limiting you to photograph only stationary subjects.
