William Herschel accidentally discovered this frequency of light in 1800 through a prism by measuring the heat emitted by the reflected light in the colors that said prism in his Laboratory accidentally left the thermometer close to the light spectrum and this threw high temperatures where it did not exist. color and this really caught his attention and there he began his research on invisible light.

Infrared radiation is currently used in Astrophotography, In the military arts, In medicine, Electronic Technology, Radio and Television Waves, Photography. Infrared radiation comprises Wavelength: 10-3 m - 7.8 × 10-7 m Frequency: 3 × 1011 Hz - 3.84 × 1014 Hz; there are currently infrared photographic fitros ranging from 350 to 1,200 nanometers these filters cut off Visible light to let invisible light pass through. Infrared radiation is a very interesting type of photography used by many photography artists including Ansel Adams and other famous photographers.

In my infrared photographs I try to show the landscapes of my eastern region in Venezuela, Sucre state, the sunlight in its incidence reflects the invisible light in the vegetation and the whole environment, today I show you a small series of photographs taken in 720 Nanometers where the light plays an important role in the quality of each image processed in Ps Cs6. without more to say I leave you this small sample and review of what infrared photography is.
