    Author: Leonhard Rank Since the middle of the 20th century, historical art objects such as string instruments have been examined not only in visible light, but also in other wavelength ranges.

  • Infrared in Portrait, Street and Architecture Photography

    Infrared in Portrait, Street and Architecture Photography

    I experimented with infrared films (ORWO, later Konica) back in the days of analogue negative film.

For me, only the use in black and white photography is interesting, for which I have tried out several cameras.
