Right here in Arizona, {the summertime} gentle turns into harsh briefly order. One of many issues I do to extend my taking pictures time is to modify to the infrared digital camera.

Being an previous traditionalist I exploit the usual 720 Nanometers (NM), which can provide an ordinary IR look. It can be processed in a distinct utilizing firming methods, which I’ll share in one other put up.

Use totally different focal lengths out of your digital camera. Many instances you will discover that with additional exploration you’ll find yourself with a strong photograph. And extra!
The log

Right here’s a living proof. I used to be climbing by way of Watson Lake Path in Prescott, AZ. I seen a fallen tree under.

The leaves of the deciduous tree subsequent to the fallen log soldier made a wonderful counterpoint. Leaves rendered a vivid glowing white.

I forgot to make a coloration picture of the scene for reference however know that right now of day, the scene was fairly blah. Pre-visualizing made me work it the best way I did. I really feel there are just a few compositions that work.
