An infrared capture from the Spring of 2008. What caught my eye first in this scene was the huge Chainfruit Cholla Skeleton (fire). I positioned myself low in order to include Poppies in the foreground and a nice Saguaro specimen in the background.(False color introduced by swapping channels.)

A friend and I hiked a favorite canyon a couple of days ago and were so disappointed with the low amount of flower displays this year. This particular place is usually loaded with Southwestern Prickly Poppies which are especially fun to photograph because they are so large. Today I’m posting a Prickly Poppy captured in Infrared up at the Grand Canyon last year. I played with the image channels to introduce some false color.

Infrared capture of Poppies ( 2008). Only memories this year……darn it. (Converted Canon 5D and 15mm lens).

Another infrared capture from our outing to Reata Pass. There are dozens of these lanterns on the Pinnacle Peak Patio property and I enjoy figuring out new ways to photograph them. Sadly, this Scottsdale landmark is going to be torn down in the near future. It’s just 5 minutes away so I’m trying to capture it while I can.

An infrared HDR capture of the entrance to Greasewood Flat….a famous hangout for bikers (as well as families) and a really fun place to photograph! Although there is a lot of grease in their food (good, though!), the name doesn’t refer to that. Greasewood is a common name for the Creosote Shrub. (There’s another species of shrub nicknamed Greasewood but it doesn’t grow in our area.)

A successful photography Meetup for our digital club yesterday! We started at the General Store and then moved to Greasewood Flat all the while encountering endless photo ops. The last stop was supposed to be Pinnacle Peak Patio but most had either run out of pixels or got lost. I went but stayed just long enough to get this photo.

Our Spring hasn’t even started and I’m already thinking about Flagstaff in the Summer! Once the weather heats up here and our Wildflowers are gone, we only have to drive two hours to experience mountain flowers. One of my favorite places to visit up north is the Arboretum at Flagstaff. There are 200 gorgeous acres of Pine Forest that hold many interesting themed gardens, a huge pond, trails, buildings and even a Raptor show. Lots to photograph! (Infrared capture with channel swapping to introduce false color.)

Joshua Tree National Park is another fantastic place for infrared photography. I swapped channels in this to bring out false color. Strange look for a strange landscape. (Click Here for info on Camping)
Captured with a IR converted Canon 5D and 17-40mm lens at 17mm.
