Greetings and welcome to the revival blog post! I’ll post about what’s been keeping me rather busy in a separate post, so as not to bore those of you who’d rather see something new in Infrared fun!

As I’m enjoying a long weekend and the weather has been gorgeous, I opted for some exploration. In particular, there’s a well-hidden, old bridge that I was looking for and found. As this bridge is in an area where I captured a Meetinghouse (see post), I took a slight detour to visit that location as well.

Here’s a first look at the Meetinghouse in natural light…

1794 Meetinghouse

This was captured with my Fuji GFX 100s II medium format camera, and I treated it with an Adobe Camera Raw filter to bring an early sense of autumn into the image.

I also photographed the Meetinghouse in a rather different color…

1794 Meetinghouse in Blue/Pink

A rather different capture and processing, as I took this photo with my 720nm converted Canon EOS 5D MkII, and then gave it a quick channel swap and some adjustments to highlight pink trees!

The same image with a rather different treatment…

1794 Meetinghouse in Blue/Yellow

For this treatment, I went to a yellowish tone for the trees, which also allowed me to create a slightly more sinister feel to the overall image. I’ll admit that I enjoy this approach a bit!

A couple of quick news items. First of all, I have the privilege of having an invitation to present to the Assabet Valley Camera Club next May on the topic of Infrared photography. This will be a lot of fun, and a great impetus for me to add to my portfolio over the next months, as I prepare the detailed presentation. Secondly, I’m finally working on my new web-site, as I feel I have enough images processed over this past year to present a start of a portfolio. More announcements soon!
