Colors in IR
I used a converted camera for the Infrared shot. The white balance was set to custom and balanced off a white sheet of paper in the sun. File was jpeg. In CS3 I reversed the numbers in a Channel Mixer adjustment layer for blues and reds in both the blue and red channels and this is the result.

Today is IR with color
After talking to my friend Gordon, I decided to shoot some IR in JPEGs and do custom white balance on the top of a white picnic table in the sun. This is one of the resulting image. The green spruce really turned blue in color. ¶ 4:31 PM 0 comments

New Look
Take an out of focus, moving Day Lily and using the Gradient Adjustment layers to produce new art forms. The pattern structure of the lily is there but the vivid colors and softness cause the image to go into a new life. Way beyond the life of the fragile flower. ¶ 8:59 PM 1 comments

Bridges
This single bridge shot was way too bright with a white sky and way too dark shadows under the bridge. I used Photomatix Pro to fix the image with tone compression.

Sitting Still
Humming Birds really do not sit still very often. I found one of the branches that the bird always came back to after eating. This perch was only for a split second. ¶ 3:18 PM 0 comments

Color or B&W
This albino Peacock was an interesting character. I photographed the bird in FL and have been debating which image I like best. Even though the bird is white, I think I like the color best. ¶ 1:21 PM 1 comments

These large droplets are really small, but the flower is so small that the dew droplets look large. ¶ 7:12 PM 0 comments
