In the past couple of years, I’ve done some experimentation with Infrared photography, which has led to some interesting images. A number of these images will most definitely make it into the selection for my portfolio, as they provide a view of the world that we don’t experience in any other manner.

In 2022, I attended the New England Camera Club Council conference at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst for the first and only time; this was the final edition of this conference, which is a shame as it was a great event filled with inspiring speakers and photo opportunities.

During this conference I shot a significant amount of infrared images, as it was a great time to experiment; this particular image is one that I still enjoy, as the early morning provided a clear view down this walkway on the campus. The trees allowed for a pleasant framing of the main subject, which slowly disappears into the distance. It still provides me with a sense of an otherworldly era of black & white photography.

This image was captured with a Canon 5D Mk II converted to filter at 590 nm and a Canon EF 25-105mm f/4L lens. The conversion was done by Kolarivision, who did a fantastic job.
