Hello. Happy Friday and thank you for visiting Weirdbeautiful.
During my doctorate, I spent some time investigating the Ultraviolet and Infra Red light reflected by living organisms- particularly jellyfish and related animals. I did quite a bit of photography related to this, as did a colleague of mine- Abigail Ingram. Abby was especially studying fish parasites at that point.
We used specialist film with a very wide spectral sensitivity for both UV and IR photos, aswell as a crystal lens (glass lenses block out too much UV) and various filters to take images of various animals. Our pictures were scientific, rather than aesthetic. Because the film was infrared sensitive, it absolutely had to be stored in the cool (a fridge) and this and its high sensitivity meant that it had to be loaded and unloaded into/from the camera in complete darkness (a photographer's darkroom). In this case, the article talks about infrared images (particularly landscapes) needing long exposure time, which was not particularly a problem we had with the kind of pictures we were taking.
Today I want to post this link-

-to a series of infrared photos and some information about how they were taken.
