Infrared on the Fuji x100s and x100t | SebImagery

A little while ago I wanted to try out infrared (IR) photography on my Fuji x100s.  There’s something different about IR that really makes it interesting.  The obvious is what you often see and that is the white foliage and dark water and skies.  Since plants (and most living organisms) reflect a lot of IR light they become ghostly white.  „But you live in Dubai Sebastian….where are you going to go see trees?“  Well that is true…we don’t exactly have forests out here….but there is a fair amount of greenery especially considering that twenty years ago it was nothing but sand out here.  The focus however is specifically cityscape photography in IR.  But anyway…I digress.  I was curious as to how IR changes things around the city.  Infrared behaves a bit differently than visible light.  There are services like LifePixel which can convert your digital camera to IR (with many different options) but many digital cameras can detect IR light already.  Well…ALL digital sensors can detect infrared light but manufacturers actually add IR filters……..
