Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Near Infrared Tree

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Near Infrared photograph of a tree, taken with a Hoya R72 infrared filter. This is NOT Ultraviolet NOR is it Thermographic
Edit 1 by Ravedave combined both images. Infrared photograph of a tree, taken with a Hoya R72 infrared filter above a Visible spectrum photograph of the same tree.


This is a highly instructive and attractive image used in the article Infrared photography and also in at least one foreign-language Wikipedia for an article on the same subject. It meets all of the featured picture criteria. There is noticeable noise at full resolution but this should be left alone -- when you severely limit the spectrum of light being captured, the duration of the exposure and the necessary ISO setting result in side effects like additional noise. To remove it would be to lessen the pedagogical value of the image. I'm surprised this isn't already a featured picture. Taken by User:Dschwen.
