Digital Infrared Photography
This summer, I have been capturing many Infrared (IR) images at Seattle's Arboretum, Gasworks Park, Kubota Gardens, and Discovery Park. Images are taken with a Nikon D80 and Hoya R72 IR Filter.
To create these surreal scenes, I use a filter that blocks out almost all light except for the infrared spectrum. Green foliage appears white and the required long exposures add a unique motion to the clouds.

Clear Day in Seattle
The clear weather in Seattle motivated me to get a few sunset and night images from the most famous Northwest photography location - Kerry Park. I worked my way through the 20-30 other photographers for a space to drop my tripod. Usually, the clouds are better for sunsets and Mount Rainier can be seen, but I am happy with the results for my first "postcard" session of 2008.

Southern Louisiana (Cajun Country)
My latest photo trip was into the surreal looking swamps of southern Louisiana. The submerged cypress trees covered in Spanish moss had a very eerie look to them and the still water created some amazing mirror style reflections. It was the off season for wildlife in the swamp but I did get to see baby alligators, turtles, owls, and many varieties of cranes. Much different than the landscapes and critters of the Northwest.
