Beijing: Infrared

I bought a modified Olympus E-PM1 off of Ebay from a seller called Image Laboratory because I thought it would be great to take some infrared pictures from the Great Wall. I took these pictures around the building and grounds to see how it worked. I used a 720nm filter to block the visible light so all it recorded is the near infrared frequencies and higher. This means that things that reflect infrared light get lighter (the grass is white for example) and things that do not become dark. It is an interesting and striking effect I think!

I love that you can see the veins in my hand!

This looks pretty normal, but her coat was actually a deep red!
