Hoya Infra Red, R72, 72mm

The Hoya 82mm R72 Infrared Filter offers excellent quality and is going to be less expensive than transforming your digital camera to take IR, that calls for removing the IR filter from the front of the sensor.

If positioned on to a tripod and with the suitable controls, this Hoya 72mm infrared filter helps make the sky darker and lights up all the plant life. Green woodland and plant life reflect a lot of IR so that they seem white in IR.

Blue skies possess little or no IR, therefore no light is reflected, and this can make the sky to appear dimly lit, as if the image was taken at night. It presents images just as if they're from another planet, a visual aspect which many people find attractive.

Product features:

• Obstructs all visible light up to 720nm for photographing subjects and aspects which are not generally visible.
• Variable filter factor depending on ISO level of sensitivity and lighting conditions.
• Can be combined with colored black and white contrast filters to modify the coloured or contrast effects with this filter.
