BLUE ARCHES

 

A long-time reader of this blog complained politely that she was tired of gloomy, high contrast monochrome infrared images. The original IR images are very magenta. It’s not hard to manipulate them into dramatic B&Ws, but there is also a way to make otherworldly color pictures. I used to do it more often but it’s complicated and I don’t remember the process well. Maybe I’ll post one of the old ones tomorrow. For now, arches from the World’s Fair Pavilion in an icy blue.

I am so out of material. It’s cold and wet today and miserable for outdoor shooting. I’ll scramble.

I appreciate your blog's photos daily...and am impressed that you come up with 366 this year! But I also prefer natural colors to the infrared ones, which do seem gloomy to me.
