This photo was taken at the Mission Space pavilion in EPCOT.Time
This is one of my favorite images. It was taken in the middle of the afternoon at one of my favorite places on earth, EPCOT.Lighting
The great thing about infrared photography is that harsh midday sunlight works great in infrared photography.. Infrared light really pops in bright sunlight.Equipment
The camera was a Canon T3i that had been converted to full spectrum infrared with a 590nm external filter.Inspiration
The way infrared light was reflecting from the building making it gold, the blue vegetation and look of the people looked awesome so I had to capture this shot.Editing
Post was done in Lightroom. I had to create a custom camera profile using Adobe DNG Profile Editor in order to get the white balance correct.In my camera bag
I have since upgrade the camera to a Canon T6s, also converted to full spectrum. My usual lens I carry is a Tamron 16-300mm. The infrared filters I carry are IR Chrome (simulates the old Kodak Aerochrome film), 470nm, 550nm, 590nm, 665nm and 720nm. I also have an external hot mirror which makes the camera shoot 'normal' visible light.Feedback
Infrared photography offers an extremely unique genre. You can get a camera converted (or buy one already converted) with a specific wave length, however, I recommend full spectrum. That way you can shoot in a variety of wave lengths using external filters. Plus the added advantage of putting an external hot mirror on and using it as a normal camera. In addition, there's a ton of cool effects you can do in post. Infrared provides a awesome foundation for converting to B&W, channel swaps, custom colors, etc. You can make some weird and wonderful creations.
