Into the Great Wide Open

This is why I shoot infrared.

This image came straight out of the camera looking this way – not kidding.  No Photoshopping done here.  The only post-production work was tightening up the sliders a bit in ‘Levels’.

In fact, I compose in infrared.  In other words, I see the image in infrared on the display while I’m shooting.

In case you’re not familiar...I’ve had one of my cameras converted.  A company called Life Pixel did it for me a couple of years ago.

Life hasn’t been the same since.

I Heart Trees

(One of the infrared images I took a few weeks ago at a park in Austin, Texas.)

The branches in this particular image left a negative space in the shape of a heart…and I decided coloring it in would be a good way to express my love for trees.

Just for fun.
