W
henever my Uncle Benny walked into a
room and flipped on the light switch,
he always announced, "Let there be
light." Sometimes he used a more witty approach
and said, "Let me shed a little light on the subject."
Hey, it may be corny, but Uncle Benny was right
about one thing: We photographers would be lost
without light.
Technically speaking, when we take pictures we're
recording visible light on a piece of film or a digital
i maging sensor. That's why it's important to closely
observe a scene's lighting conditions before we
make a picture.
But what about invisible "light," such as infrared
radiation?
