Infrared

Infrared Pictures/Nature

Equipment needed is a 57$ infrared filter that blocks out all light except for infrared and a Tri-pod.

Preparation would need lots of exposure to light, a steady position and of course you would need to find something interesting to take a picture of with the filter.

Important tips are lots of exposure and direct sunlight.

If the image comes out dark or not to satisfactory expectations then the image could be edited in Lightroom to enhance the exposure.
