Avatar IR version

Hello beloved followers and readers.
I'm home! Weyyu0~
Back to previous entry, I'd promised that I will share something with you which is my new experience of Avatar IR photo shoot. IR stands for Infrared. Do you know what it is?

To make it simple, I prefer to share this information in Malay language so that you guys can understand and get the message better okay? So firstly let us discover the meaning of IR photography.


Apa itu IR photography?
Rakaman foto infrared (IR) merupakan satu kaedah merakamkan foto dengan cahaya yang tidak dapat dilihat dengan mata kasar kita dengan menggunakan kamera yang telah diubahsuai atau dengan menggunakan filter IR yang di pasang di depan lensa kamera. Kamera & filter IR tersebut dapat merakamkan radiasi cahaya IR (invisible light) yang dihasilkan pada gelombang tertentu yang dibaca dalam skala nanometre (nm). Cahaya yang terakam pada sensor atau filem adalah sebenarnya pantulan sumber cahaya(matahari) terhadap objek tertentu,maka terhasilah imej infrared. Ianya akan menghasilkan kesan warna yang menarik & menjaukaui pandangan mata normal manusia pada gambar yang dirakam.


Dalam erti kata lain, Fotografi inframerah (Infrared Photography) adalah suatu teknik dalam bidang fotografi untuk merakam cahaya yang tidak dapat dilihat oleh mata kasar di mana ianya memerlukan filter yang menolak hampir semua cahaya spektrum yang dilihat oleh kita dan mengizinkan cahaya inframerah (IR) untuk diteruskan masuk ke kamera, dengan catatan bahawa sensor atau film dalam kamera tersebut harus sensitif terhadap cahaya inframerah. Ketika teknik tersebut digunakan, hasil dari foto inframerah bisa menjadi foto hitam-putih yang kontras atau foto false-color, seperti contohnya warna daun yang hijau segar akan terlihat putih, pemandangan yang panas akan nampak seperti di musim salju dan seperti di dunia lain.

So now I guess you guys have literal ideas about what is it right?
To make it clear, let me explain it through my pictures of the latest photo shoot.
Kalau anda nak tahu, original picture iaitu situasi sebenar semasa photoshoot adalah seperti gambar di bawah.


Those pictures are from Canon DSLR, taken by bro Shah Rol. Ni memang original colour, bukan IR version.
Now I want to show you the photos of Avatar IR version. You can see the different between original and IR version. Those pictures above were also taken by bro Shah Rol using Canon 400D Avatar Siries.

Haa ni lah yang dimaksudkan dengan Avatar IR versions tu. Do you get what I mean? Thus you can see the uniqueness of avatar IR kan? the tone, colour, mood are different than the original one. Biasanya kita selalu tengok gambar-gambar yang sharp with bright colour. So why don't we look into this version and expose ourselves to other parts of photography. Oh I'm fall in love with avatar IR! ;)

More pictures of avatar IR version will come in the next entry. Just wait and see okay! =P
