To All Photography Lovers

If you are a researcher of the internet, you know you can find a great deal of cool things you can do with digital photography. Long exposure is one of my favorite things to do. But two of my favorite types of pictures lately are the Infrared and Bokeh. Infrared is a photo that uses a filter (homemade or bought) which allows all infrared light in, and blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum. By doing this you end up with a picture with deep reds and blacks. Green-leafed trees turn into white leaves, leaving the effect of what looks like snow to me.

Bokeh is referred in photography as the blur in your image when using a shallow depth of field. Blur in any image can create curiosity and interest, so why not turn that blur into something awesome? There are homemade techniques which you can use to make your own lens cover to create such blur with shapes including keyholes and hearts including different colors.
