After integrating the 46mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695 into your photography toolkit, you'll unlock the door to the intriguing world of infrared photography. This durable and high-quality filter from B+W is designed to selectively block visible light while allowing infrared light to pass through, enabling you to capture images with unique and dramatic effects that are not possible with standard photography techniques.Crafted with professional photographers in mind, this filter is effective in exploiting the residual sensitization of digital cameras for experimental black-and-white photos with pronounced contrasts. The B+W Infrared filter is renowned for its ability to transform green foliage into bright or white hues, creating the sought-after ""wood effect"" that dramatically enhances the contrast between clouds and the sky. This versatile filter is a testament to B+W's commitment to producing filters that elevate the capabilities of your camera and lens setup.While the 46mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695 does not completely block the visible light spectrum, it is precisely this characteristic that allows for the recording of images with both visible and invisible Ir components, resulting in softer black and white contrasts that can add a unique aesthetic to your photography.Please note that infrared photography, as facilitated by this filter, should not be confused with thermal imaging. Infrared photography captures images based on infrared radiation within a specific wavelength range, unlike thermal imaging, which operates at much higher wavelengths (from about 10,000 nm and above). The B+W Infrared filter is specifically crafted for pictorial infrared photography, offering a distinct and creative avenue for visual expression..
