My many thanks to all of the folks that expressed their likes, wonderment and wanting to learn more about this media known as IR (Infrared). I have posted two images of the same area captured about ten minutes apart and from a slightly different location. Dunstickin wanted to see the same image in it's natural state. PatAndre and a few others never tried any of this while others reminisced about some of the IR work they have done in the past. I am happy to see the interest in this medium pick up. I had posed a few IR images last year and they received a cool welcome. The explanation of how this works is pretty deep. Let me just explain some of the things that you can see in this comparison. The white areas in the mountains and fields are Aspen trees and healthy grass. The dark areas are Pine and Fur tees. Evergreen trees absorb IR light. Sadly those Pine and Fur trees in the foreground and in the small village of Platoro that are a dull gray are sick from Pine Beetle infestation and will not live more than two more years. If you would like to know more about IR imges feel free to PM me

Amazing. I will hang onto to this. Right now, I can't keep up with my own a_ _! I can't even find it, I have so many irons in the fire. I just thought of something. I'll bet if we got on the internet and typed in our browser, "Infrared Photography", we would get all kinds of info on it. I'm gonna try that...right after I find my a_ _. I gotta find it. I use it for sitting.
Nice presentation.

g'day Mr/Mrs CF,

excellent presentation, never told you, but i started with the state of LA in photogrammetric engineering, we used infrared to see thru tree cover to draw maps. In vietnam nam not only did it see thru trees, the photos picked up body heat, wonder what they used that for?

Never argue with an Idiot, the people watching don't know the difference!

I remember you did a similar comparison once before and its worth repeating because as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Now I’m of to dig out that Hoya R something or other filter that I bought once and never got round to trying.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual. Edward Weston

hmm...really interesting (I'm glad to see that you're back again -- I missed you!). What's the difference between the infrared photography and plain black and white? I know pretty much zilch about IR, although it looks pretty cool :)

Hey how's my cousin?
IR is to long of an item to discuss at this time try again in about a week.

Annie and I invite you to visit our website. Photography is not a trade - it is an art. It is more that an art. It is a solar phenomenon, where the artist collaborates with the sun. deLamartine 1855
