The Hidden Beauty of

Infrared Photography For reasons truly unknown to me, I recently decided to begin exploring the mysteries of infrared photography. I think I bumbled onto the topic while searching on YouTube for something else entirely. Fifty plus years ago, when I first got started taking pictures, infrared photography was a very exotic medium requiring special (expensive) film and extra fussing to achieve proper focus. Now in the digital age of photography…… it’s still expensive but in a different way. Now you need to acquire a modified digital camera that can “see” the infrared spectrum. The images you capture need to be…

Environment:Start Time: 9:15 AM Temperature: 55 degrees Sky: Sunny, Intermittent Breeze Late start today because I had to wait for the park customer service center to open at 9 AM so I could purchase my annual park pass. Last year’s expired yesterday. This delay is not really a problem this time of year since the temperatures are very comfortable and the Sun is still at a low enough angle to get decent lighting for most photos. I did come away with some bird shots though nothing exotic. Just a Kestrel and an Audubon’s Warbler posted in the gallery below. Today’s…
