Re: [MyOlympus] IR Photography - Why?

7:41 AM |

There are limits as to what Ps can do. Non-visible light photography
literally sees things that the human eye can't see. They give some
images an other-worldly quality. With IR, bright skies are dark and
plants are bright. If you Google for "UV flowers" you can get some
interesting images there too.

If that's not any particular person's cup of tea, so be it. I have
only toyed with it a tiny bit, and it's interesting, but I don't spend
a lot of time on it.
