B + W 37mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695

For photographers seeking to explore the captivating world of infrared photography, the B+W 37mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695 is an indispensable tool. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to selectively block certain wavelengths of light, allowing both visible and invisible IR components to pass through.

Unlike stronger infrared filters, this versatile filter does not completely block the visible light spectrum. This results in a unique balance of black and white contrasts that are not as stark, providing a distinctive aesthetic to your images.

The B+W 37mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter is particularly effective for experimental black-and-white photography, exploiting the existing residual sensitization to produce high-contrast images. Green foliage, such as leaves and grass, are rendered from bright to white, creating a visually striking effect.

Moreover, this professional-grade filter can help achieve the renowned "wood effect," a dramatic contrast between clouds and sky that is a hallmark of infrared photography.

Please note, while this filter enables pictorial infrared photography, it should not be confused with thermal photography. The latter forms images from infrared radiation in a much higher range (from about 10,000 nm and above), and is not a substitute for a thermal imaging camera.

In summary, the B+W 37mm Basic 092 Infrared Filter, Dark Red 695 is a versatile, effective tool for photographers looking to experiment with infrared photography and achieve stunning, high-contrast images.
