It’s been too long since I got out and played with infrared. I have two cameras, a D70s and a D700, converted for infrared. I’ve especially neglected the D70s for a while, so took it out for a stroll at the University of Tennessee Arboretum. I still love the way the infrared light reflects so differently from foliage, so that when it is converted to black and white the leaves shift more towards white. It makes for a surreal scene and makes the everyday look magical.

I have liked infrared photography since I was pretty young. The way light looks is a little magical to me. A few years ago, I had my first digital camera, a D70s, converted to shoot infrared. It did a pretty good job, but it was limited, since it was a D70s. Recently, I decided to have my D700, a more sophisticated camera, converted.

All infrared captures result in some pretty strange colors straight out of the camera. I generally do not leave any color in the images, instead converting to black and white. This particular kind of conversion (called hyper color) gives infrared light a purple color. This makes conversion to black and white a lot easier and gives me better controls in processing the image. It also produces an otherworldly scene if it is not converted, and I find that with some images, I like the look, even if it is a little bizarre.

I liked this one. It is shot in the ruins of Sheldon Church in Beaufort County, South Carolina. The church was originally built sometime between 1745 and 1753. It was burned by the British in 1779 during the Revolutionary War, but rebuilt in 1826. It was again destroyed in February of 1865 when Sherman marched from Georgia into South Carolina. It is unclear if the building was burnt again or was gutted to rebuild homes that were burned, but in either case it was never rebuilt and stands today only as ruins. The sense of history, and tragedy, contrasts with the peacefulness and beauty of the scene today.

Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think.

A walk around the University of Tennessee arboretum in the late afternoon with sidelight made all that much more dramatic with an infrared capture.
