The B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter is used to block the entire visible light spectrum, enabling photographers to capture the pure IR range without visible red. This results in experimental black-and-white photography with high contrasts.
The 'wood effect' refers to the dramatic contrast this filter can create in images. Green leaves and grasses are reproduced from bright to white, resulting in a striking contrast between clouds and sky.
No, the B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter is not a substitute for a thermal imaging camera. It operates in a lower range of infrared radiation, making it ideal for pictorial infrared photography rather than thermal photography.
The B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter is versatile and designed to work with a wide range of full-spectrum cameras and lenses.

Before you embark on your next photographic adventure, consider the B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter, a high-quality, professional-grade tool designed to transform your images with extreme contrasts. This durable filter, part of B+W's esteemed #830 series, is engineered to block the entire visible light spectrum, resulting in an almost black appearance.
Unlike ordinary filters, the B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter captures the pure IR range without visible red, enabling you to exploit the existing residual sensitization for experimental black-and-white photography. This versatile filter can dramatically alter the color balance of your images, reproducing green leaves and grasses from bright to white, and creating a striking "wood effect" with a stark contrast between clouds and sky.
It's important to note that while this filter allows for creative infrared photography, it is not a substitute for a thermal imaging camera. The B+W 39mm Basic 093 Infrared Filter operates in a lower range of infrared radiation, making it ideal for pictorial infrared photography rather than thermal photography, which operates in a much higher range (from about 10,000 nm and above).
Designed to work with a wide range of full-spectrum cameras and lenses, this effective filter is a must-have tool for photographers looking to push the boundaries of their craft.
