I hope you’ll forgive me for a brief hiatus from the series of posts about infrared photography with this week’s bit of experimentation. This past Sunday I was looking for a location to try out some slightly different techniques. As it was a lovely day with temperatures peaking above freezing, I went to Tower Hill Botanic Garden. This is always a great location to stimulate the visual senses!
Here’s one of the images that I captured during this outing…
This little cherub and his hen look rather cold in the lovely, snowy landscape of the botanic garden. With the amazing light of this Sunday, he came across rather crisply.
Now, some of you may wonder what the experimental aspect was in all this. The answer is that I spent some time shooting with different aspect rations from the standard 3:2 for 35mm format. The cherub image was captured using a 4:3 aspect ration. Additionally, I took a number of shots with a 65:24 aspect ratio.
You may have noticed that the banner on my blog has received an update. That is one of the images that was shot at 65:24.
I really enjoyed experimenting in this fashion. You can expect to see more in the future, as I get ready for Egypt.
