I’m certainly looking for further opportunities to continue my exploration of the possibilities of infrared photography. It’s almost like learning to see again after years of being underground, exposed to a limited set of vistas. One of the challenges is that what I am looking at through the viewfinder is drastically different from the resulting image. I’m seeing the scene as it is processed through the rods and cones connected to my visual cortex.
Here’s another image from last weekend…
As I had just parked my car, I looked up at the verdant tree with sunlight playing through its foliage. That inspired me to create something a little different from that view. And, yes, this is not the beautifully bright green that I witnessed in the leaves, but rather a step or two away from it, something that my mind’s eye created.
And, yes, that is very different from what my camera’s sensor recorded…
With wavelengths of 720nm and longer captured by the sensor, deep shades of red are dominant.
