I almost missed this one even though I was thinking about it last night.  That is what I get for thinking about it and not actually acting on it!  Stuff like that happens to me all the time!

This week’s photo is from a new set of experiments in IR photography.  I talked about how digital IR photo worked in a previous Foto Friday post.  Well, being back at camp for the summer means that I have access to an IR camera for the summer again, so I will be doing more experimenting!

The Home Acres Farm on Rt. 113 in Stow, ME (or close to Stow)

This image was captured a little before sunset during “golden hour” before going out moosing.  I inverted the red and blue channels to make the sky blue and get the cool IR effect in the trees.  The clouds came out pretty cool as well.  Shooting in IR is very interesting and I feel like it really opens up a completely different world of creative imaging.  It is so interesting to be able to visualize that which we can’t see!

I have a bunch more IR photos already and I plan to get them up on my website, IceWolf Photography, this weekend.  They are fun to look it in a bigger scale than this one.  I just need to sit down and do the upload.  I will let you know when that happens.

For now, enjoy this one, and as always, comments, questions, and critiques are always welcome!

I really can’t believe that it is once again Friday.  I mean, where did this week go?  I suppose I know where the week went, I spent it sitting around a dark theatre in rehearsal.  While that was going on, it was mostly a nice week outside…  So, in honor of it being a nice week outside, I thought that a nice outdoor photo would be in order.

Just off SR224 on the way up to Park City you pass the McPolin Farm.  It happens that this is one of the most photographed locations in Utah.  On the grounds of the farm they have lots of old farm equipment.  Old Farm equipment can make a fun subject to shoot, and on a nice day it is even better.  I have no idea what this thing is, but this is one of my favorite images that I took up there one day last spring.

I like playing with the depth of field, it can make for some interesting looks.

I should also mention that I received my new camera lens yesterday.  I have not had a chance to test it out yet, but I certainly will post some photos when I do.  I picked up the Sigma 15mm f/2.8 full frame fisheye.  I thought that it would be fun to have for my photo workshop next month.  I also have always like the super-wide angle look so I think that it will be fun to play with.  Certainly a great addition to my kit.

As always, comments, questions and critiques are welcome!  Have a great weekend.
