Graveyard Part 3 - Infrared Photography on HIVE

Monochrome

In the last part for now of the Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf I show you some monochrome pictures today. I took them with the same filter as the pictures in the other posts. I converted the images to black and white in Darktable. For some subjects and lighting situations, I think this simply works better. The original analog infrared photography was monochrome. Infrared photography was mainly used for technical, military or intelligence purposes. False color infrared films, such as Kodak Aerochrome, were also originally developed for military use. A well camouflaged tank in the forest was easily recognizable in these photos because, unlike the trees around it, it did not emit infrared light. Later, infrared films were also used for artistic purposes.

Im vorerst letzten Teil vom Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf zeige ich euch heute einige monochrome Bilder. Aufgenommen habe ich diese mit demselben Filter wie die Bilder in den anderen Beiträgen. In Darktable habe ich die Bilder in schwarzweiß umgewandelt. Bei einigen Motiven und Lichtsituationen passt das einfach besser, wie ich finde. Die ursprüngliche, analoge Infrarotfotografie war monochrom. Hauptsächlich wurde die Infrarotfotografie für technische, militärisch oder geheimdienstliche Zwecke eingesetzt. Auch Falschfarben-Infrarotfilme, wie der Kodak Aerochrome, wurden ursprünglich für den militärischen Einsatz entwickelt. Ein gut getarnter Panzer im Wald war auf diesen Fotos mühelos zu erkennen, weil dieser, im Gegensatz zu den Bäumen rundherum, kein infrarotes Licht emittiert. Später wurden Infrarotfilme dann auch künstlerisch verwendet.

The original aim of infrared photography was to make the invisible visible or to make certain things more clearly visible. It was also possible to take inconspicuous photographs at night with sufficiently strong artificial infrared light sources. Without a military or intelligence context, the special properties of infrared photography can also be used to good effect, for example to achieve a much greater contrast than in normal photos. You can see this clearly in the pictures in this article. The light-colored foliage and the dark graves make the motif much more impressive.

Es ging also ursprünglich darum, mit der Infrarotfotografie unsichtbares sichtbar zu machen, oder bestimmte Dinge deutlicher sichtbar zu machen. Auch in der Nacht konnte man mit ausreichend starken künstlichen Infrarotlichtquellen unauffällig fotografieren. Ohne militärischen oder geheimdienstlichen Kontext kann man die besonderen Eigenschaften der Infrarotfotografie ebenfalls gut einsetzen, um beispielsweise einen viel größeren Kontrast als in normalen Fotos zu erreichen. Man sieht das gut in den Bildern dieses Beitrages. Durch das helle Laub und die dunklen Grabstellen wird das Motiv viel eindrucksvoller abgebildet.

WHAT IS LIGHT PAINTING?

Light painting is a unique form of art. The darkness is illuminate by the artist with diverse light sources and light traces are paint into the picture with various light tools. Various techniques are use, such as camera rotation or other movements of the camera during the exposure. The creative possibilities are almost unlimited. All the pictures were taken during one single exposure. Apart from denoising, sharpening, cutting and possibly adjusting the white balance, the pictures are not processed on the computer.
