About InfraredLightHouse
Infrared photography presents an entirely different way of looking at landscapes, architecture and the shapes and forms of the human body. The photos on this page and in our gallery were made using infrared-enabled digital cameras and IR filters that pass infrared at 1000 nanometers while blocking all visible light. Surfaces that reflect infrared light appear white and those that absorb it appear black.
CCD's in digital cameras are extremely sensitive to infrared light. When the IR blocking filter (aka "hot mirror") has been removed from the light path inside the camera and an infrared passing filter is placed on the front of the lens, digital cameras that normally shoot color become a tool for capturing infrared. I have been shooting infrared for 15 years, and have published two books on the topic (one is for sale on this site). We also offer the unique Hoya RM100 1000nm extreme infrared filter, manufactured by Hoya in Japan for us in limited quantity.

Books on Infrared Photography
This unique book provides an in in-depth look at digital infrared photography that will interest you in looking into a world that truly cannot be seen by the unaided eye. In addition to insightful background on the principles and techniques of digital infrared, this book includes a collection of over 160 high resolution infrared photographs from California, Hawaii, Illinois and Tokyo, Japan.Click here for Andy Finney's review of this book: https://www.atsf.co.uk/ilight/infrared-photography-books.html
Unlike other infrared books on the market that feature images recorded with essentially dark red filters such as the Hoya R72 (720nm), the images in this book were captured using true infrared filters that only pass light in the extreme end of the near infrared portion of the spectrum (850nm, 900nm and 1000nm IR filters), well beyond the range of human vision and the world of visible color. The stunning black and white infrared images cover a wide variety of topics in infrared photography including indoor and outdoor nudes, architecture, landscapes, nature and more.
Hoya RM100 Infrared Filter
Manufactured, coated, polished and mounted exclusively for us in limited quantity by Hoya Corporation in Japan. Designed for infrared enabled digital SLRs and camcorders, this filter transmits infrared light above 1000 nanometers while blocking all visible light.

We Also Have Extremely Rare Ultra Telephoto Lenses
.This Canon 1200mm f/11 S.S.C. Ultra-Telephoto lens is the longest lens ever manufactured, and was a classic during the Cold War. Includes lens, rack and pinion focusing unit. The lens has a built-in filter holder in 48mm.
This 2000mm Zoomar missile tracking lens is 64cm long end to end. It is 16cm in diameter (mirror lens / catadioptric design) and weighs 17 pounds. It has a standard lens mount. It was nvented by Charles Back, the father of the Zoom lens. It was used to track nuclear missiles upon launch.
