North Haven Camera Club To Present 'Infrared Photography' March 7

Press release from North Haven Camera Club:

Feb. 14, 2023

North Haven Camera Club will present 'Infrared Photography' on March 7th at 7pm by William Barnett of the New England Camera Club Council.

At this Zoom presentation Bill will explore what infrared (actually near infrared) radiation is and how it renders photographs of the world. Pure infrared radiation produces only black and white images, but also including part of the visible spectrum allows colored images to be created.The images shown in this program are the result of an extended personal project where images from across Connecticut were captured using a series of filters. Filters included a normal visible filter and a variety of filters that admitted infrared radiation plus part of the visible spectrum. Each filter produced a different result.

Bill will begin by briefly describing the Infrared Connecticut project and the reasons it was undertaken. He will describe the equipment used and compare the photographs that can be obtained using different filters. Finally, he will describe the post processing steps required for each type of filter. The presentation will conclude with a showcase selected from the many images captured during the project.

Members of North Haven Camera Club meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7pm from Sept. to June. The club also has photo field trips throughout the year. If you would like to attend this presentation please send an email to northhavencameraclub@gmail.com and you will be sent a Zoom link to the meeting.
