Foggy Morning on Deep Creek Road

Well summer is here finally and the heat has driven me to desperate measures...getting up early to photograph at sunrise. I'm not a morning person! Anyway, this past Saturday was beautiful with really heavy fog. I was a little late getting out, but still got some photos of the fog out on Deep Creek Road and then headed to Pillsbury Crossing. My photos can be viewed here.

I also had my IR modified camera with me and shot several photos in IR. I've posted these as well, they can be viewed here. Most of these I've converted to black and white, but I've also left a few with the slight red tint they have coming straight out of the camera. A few I've also exchanged the red and blue channels of the images which lets you put a blue sky back in the photo. I really love this effect.

Enjoy

First light with new IR camera

I recently sent off a Digital Rebel to Lifepixel.com to be modified for infrared (IR) only photography and I've been anxiously awaiting its return....it finally arrived this past Friday! I took it out in the backyard for my first test shots with it. You can view them here.

I'm hooked!! I love the look of IR photos. If you are curious, you can learn more about IR photography at the Lifepixel website or at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_photography. IR photography is not the same thing as thermal imaging, which many people confuse it with. IR photography is simply recording IR light as opposed to visible light, not heat as is done with thermal imaging. A great subject for IR photography is any green plant. The chlorophyll in plants strongly reflects IR light. Kansas is an IR shooters paradise in the spring and summer, we have lots of green and lots of sunshine!

Peace.
