Why Infrared Photography Beats Harsh Light! | Leica Q2 vs Fujifilm X-Pro2 Comparison
Why bother with black and white infrared photography?
On bright, harsh days with clear blue skies, landscape photography can feel flat, uninspiring, and difficult to work with. No soft light, no drama—just strong shadows and washed-out scenes.
In this video, I head out on the bike to prove exactly why infrared photography is a game changer in these conditions.
I shoot the same scenes using:
Leica Q2 (standard colour photography)
Fujifilm X-Pro2 (850nm black & white infrared conversion)
From trees and riverbanks to beach textures and everyday subjects, you’ll see a side-by-side comparison of how infrared transforms ordinary scenes into bold, high-contrast, graphic images.
🌿 Watch how foliage turns bright white
🌑 Skies become deep and dramatic
📷 Everyday scenes become something completely different
If you’ve ever struggled shooting in harsh midday light—this might completely change the way you approach photography.
Whether you're into landscape photography, creative techniques, or just looking for inspiration, infrared photography opens up a whole new world.
