“ It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera. . .
they are made with the eye, heart and head. ”― Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004)

Where there’s no light, there’s no pictures. And because we are shooting in infrared, we can’t see it. Converting light emitted from photons to energy is done using the digital camera’s sensor. In infrared, there isn’t such colors as we see it with (narrow) our human vision.

However, colors information are being recorded and processing them is a form of art. This is what we are going to explore. Most of the CLiR panel tools that you just bought has been carefully crafted with that goal in mind.

“ The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes. ” ― Marcel Proust (1871-1922)
