Is the effect of infrared photography equivalent to black and white photography?

Not equal.

1, the imaging principle is different. Infrared camera is to install an infrared filter, which only allows infrared rays to image through the lens; Black and white photography is the imaging of natural light through a lens.

2. The imaging effect is different. Infrared cameras only transmit infrared rays, so some living plants and animals will be imaged brightly. Even in the dark, animals can be photographed clearly. Black and white photography needs light to capture images.

3. The infrared camera is not black and white, but color. For example, green is prone to golden yellow, and branches are prone to white. People will be whiter. Generally speaking, it will present an abnormal, usually invisible and dreamlike scene. So infrared photography is easy to attract people. However, infrared imaging is different from human eye imaging. At first glance, it is very surprising. It's easy to lose the voice of * * * after watching it for a long time.
