Los Oso Oaks State Reserve is one of the first places I spent time shooting in IR (infrared) and it remains one of my favorite. It’s a spooky place if you’re in there by yourself because the trees literally envelop you but also enchanting. I’ve been several times but have hundred of images I’ve never processed! Here’s one of them. Contrast added with Topaz filters. (Captured with converted Canon D60 and 15mm lens (2004)

My friend Howard Wood’s latest Blurb book inspired me to post one of my infrared shots this morning. I’ve been shooting infrared since the summer of 2003 and have been planning a book of my IR images since then. Howard said I inspired him to convert his first camera but he did more than just plan a book. He has produced FOUR Blurb books on IR since he started! His latest is stunning and rivals any infrared book I’ve seen. CLICK HERE to see this beautiful book on Blurb. Be sure to click to view full screen! (2005 image of McDowell Regional Park. Custom White Balance. Topaz added contrast.)

Still down with a cold so here’s another favorite from my archives. It was captured with a converted Canon D60 in Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve in California in 2004. An ideal place for infrared, it’s like walking in a fairytale.

If you haven’t been to Spur Cross Ranch in Cave Creek, be sure to check out their hike schedule for the next hike to see these petroglyphs. The history of the area (our whole area!) is fascinating. Can’t get enough of it 🙂
Captured in 2007 with an infrared converted Canon S3 IS.

I’m late with my photo this morning because I forgot I was leading a couple of friends out to the Marcus Landslide. Thank goodness they sent me a note to let me know they were leaving their house or I would have been sitting at my computer in my PJs when they came 🙂 (Fire devastated most trees in the Landslide area leaving these skeletons. I captured this one using my infrared converted Canon 5D. The color is result of a custom white balance.)

There are areas long Last Dollar Road where the Aspen trees are full of really interesting markings. The markings, known as Arborglyphs, were left by Basque Sheepherders who used the trees to communicate with other sheepherders as they were traveling through the West. Most markings have scarred over so you can’t make out the design but if you’re lucky, you can find some that are quite ornate.

I shot some Infrared in Colorado too. Here’s one of my favorites.
