Exploring spring through a different spectrum 🌿📷

On a recent trip to Klamath Falls, Oregon, I tested a 720nm infrared filter on my full-spectrum camera. This shot captures a weeping willow just leafing out beside an old barn. Thanks to the high chlorophyll content and strong afternoon light, the tree lit up beautifully in infrared. Post-processing brought the sky back to a familiar blue by channel-swapping red and blue, giving this dreamy, otherworldly result.

Infrared truly reveals a hidden side of nature — especially in spring.

#InfraredPhotography #KlamathFalls #WeepingWillow #SpringLight #IRPhotography

On an early spring trip to the Klamath Falls Oregon area I was anxious to try out a new 720 nanometer filter on my full spectrum modified camera. This filter only allows the very red end of the visible part of the spectrum along with the near infrared portion of the spectrum to reach the camera’s filter. The resulting image is recorded by the camera, which is still trying to produce a normal color image, looking extremely red. By reversing the blue and red color channels in post production the red sky can be turned closer to blue which we’re used to seeing. Foliage, especially deciduous foliage in spring when it contains high levels of chlorophyll, dramatically reflects infrared energy making it really “pop” in this type of photography. This weeping willow near the old barn on this ranch was just leafing out for the spring and the mid afternoon sun was on the correct side of the tree to really light up those new leaves and the sky cooperated nicely with some interesting clouds as well.

#KlamathFalls #Oregon

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773401/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting two children standing in front of an old wooden shack. The older child, who appears to be a girl with short hair tied up, wears a patterned dress while the younger one, likely a boy, sports striped overalls.

They are positioned on what looks like bare earth or dirt ground scattered with some small debris and sparse vegetation.

The structure has at least two doors—one leading to the interior while another appears unused—and various objects around it, including an old tire leaned against one side.

On the right edge of this photograph, there's handwritten text reading "1-8-90" alongside a signature that suggests the photo may have been part of a series or collection. The setting seems rural and somewhat impoverished based on their clothes and surroundings.

The environment is desolate yet imbued with stories of rural life possibly after significant hardship or displacement as suggested by their attire, wooden makeshift dwelling, and sparse belongings around. The tire outside implies resourcefulness in using available materials for construction. A clock mounted on the side of the shack indicates a sense of daily routine amidst adversity.
