Hoya Infrared filter R72 86mm

Key features:

• Wavelength 720 nm: The R72 filter is designed to transmit infrared light while partially blocking the visible spectrum. This allows for the creation of photographs with a distinctly different look and feel.

• This filter is ideal for landscape photography where it can dramatically change the appearance of vegetation and skies. Tree leaves often appear white, while the sky can take on a much darker tone, creating a surreal effect.

• Digital camera compatibility: the Hoya R72 works great with DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, especially if they don't have an IR blocking filter in front of the sensor. This allows photographers to take full advantage of the potential of infrared light.

• Flexibility in combining filters: to achieve different colour and contrast effects, this filter can be combined with other black and white contrast filters such as the R1 Pro (red), Y2 Pro (yellow) or YA3 Pro (orange). This combination can greatly affect the final appearance of the photo.

Usage and tips:

• Exposure and lighting conditions: since infrared light behaves differently from visible light, it is important to experiment with exposure. The filter factor and exposure compensation can vary greatly depending on the actual lighting conditions.

• Creative possibilities: infrared photography offers countless creative possibilities. For example, you can capture cityscapes with unusual contrast or nature in unexpected tones.

• Post-production. This may include adjusting contrast, color saturation, or converting to black and white.

Summary:

The Hoya Infrared R72 86mm filter is an indispensable tool for any photographer looking to expand their skills and explore new dimensions of photography. With its ability to transform ordinary scenes into works of art, this filter provides countless opportunities for creative expression. Whether you are a professional or an enthusiastic amateur, this filter will open the door to a new world of infrared photography.
