In this post I'll be looking at various different white balance targets and seeing how they compare when doing an in-camera white balance for infrared photography or video. (Only actually looking at stills but if you can get the in-camera white balance set correctly for stills then it will work for video too). I'll be looking at the results when using filters that pass both visible and infrared light, one that passes mostly just infrared, and also one that passes just ultraviolet.
I'll be looking at both reflectance based targets where you take the white balance using the light reflected from the target. And also semi-transparent incident based targets where you place the target over the end of the lens and shoot towards the light to take the white balance reading.
