The Arboretum at Flagstaff

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.)

Photoshop Filters

The addition of software filters makes this Prickly Pear heart look extra prickly. (Combination of Topaz filters and Lightroom Presets)

Last Light

Our recent rainstorms, have given us the most spectacular orange light at the end of the last two days. Here’s a digital art rendition of that light. (Topaz filters)

Totem

My artist friend, Joan Waters, recently started creating garden sculptures she calls Totems. I had her make one for me and was thrilled with what she came up with! So were Cleo and Cloe 🙂

Sunset Raindrop

We had a wonderful and very welcome rain yesterday. This raindrop against a cloud as the sun was setting was my favorite shot of the day.

Joshua Tree in IR

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.

Inspiration

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.)
