Zoom Meeting – Jürgen Lobert
Infrared or IR photography is a fascinating niche and allows the photographer to record the unseen, a part of the light spectrum that humans can’t see. Leaves and plants, human skin, the sky and clouds and other objects reflect IR light differently than visible light, appearing in unexpected ways. This creates surreal and otherworldly photos that draw the viewer in to study what they are looking at and why the view looks so strange.
Jürgen’s presentation will cover the following topics:
- Introduction and why we do IR
- Equipment (cameras and filters)
- The three photographer’s actions and six photo components that make a successful IR image
- The six steps of processing IR images
- Types of IR photography, including nighttime IR and infralucent clouds
- Editing IR photos
- Resources
The entire presentation is filled with inspiring visual examples.
Zoom meeting opens at 6:30 pm for a social time before the presentation. Visitors are always welcome.
