Illuminated Dolerite IR - a photo on Flickriver

            The sharp lines and shadows in this infrared photograph made it an obvious choice for a straight black and white. The sun is very low and striking these rocks very brightly at an acute angle. I have done nothing to darken the sky or the water. 

A physics lesson is useful here: The darkness of the water is explained by the fact that rather than infrared light being reflected back (as in wavelengths of visible light through to ultra-violet) infrared light is absorbed by the water. Apparently it does not penetrate too far into the water either, and water is said to have a quenching affect on infrared. Remember of course that all photography is of reflected light. In this case we are only seeing reflected infrared light, so the water is black.
