I started my infrared photography after I saw an infrared lonely tree here on deviantART. It was such a wonderful, magical image and I didn't know what it was or how to create such amazing photography so I searched on Google and found some tutorials and tips. My first try was with a Hoya R72 filter in front of my Nikon D70. At this point I fell in love with infrared and changed the hot mirror filter from my second camera to a 720nm long pass filter. With a newly created Nikon D80IR, I shot tons of photos, developed them and finally sold my daylight camera. Since then, infrared is the only spectrum I shoot photos with. My photography is mostly themed on trees (I love trees) and dramatic dark skies. My photography is shot in different locations but mostly in my native Germany.
