- Full-spectrum digital cameras capture extra wavelengths beyond human vision by removing UV- and IR-blocking filters.
- Different light sources contribute varying amounts of infrared light, affecting the appearance of full-spectrum photos.
- Infrared photography reveals unique characteristics like dark skies, reflective foliage, and reduced atmospheric haze.
- Sunlight during golden hour exaggerates the effects of full-spectrum photography, with infrared light focusing differently from visible light.
- Nighttime full-spectrum photography highlights the infrared emissions of different light sources, including security cameras.
- Indoor full-spectrum photography shows strong infrared emissions from sources like electric stoves and halogen lights, while LED lights emit virtually no IR.
- Future posts will explore selective filters for full-spectrum photography and pure ultraviolet photography.
