It has been several months since making infra-red images. So this week was was an infra-red week. When shooting infra red, deep blue skies typically render as a dark gray and sometimes, as black. In this image, I used the “arch” of the foreground building to frame the lighter colored background building. With the deep blue sky, the building contrasted nicely against the sky.
The building across the road is reflected in the window glass of this building. However, I have not noticed the unusual reflections until this week.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that the building across the road created a “peak” when reflected in building 2. I decided to wait until shooting infra-red images before shooting the monochromatic contrast of the peak.
At the intersection of the road are road markings. So I decided to make this fun image. Nothing special about infra-red in this image. The camera records visible and infra-red in monochrome. So I used this capability to capture a monochrome image
Out in front of the buildings are planters that contained grasses and flowers. Leaves of plants typically reflect plenty of infra-red, so they make ideal subjects for shooting. They render as white.
Out in front of the building at Tuscany Plaza, a small tree was just catching light from the early morning sun. So this lit up!
This steelwork at the plaza can always be used to create interesting compositions. The light color of the building, with the leaves of the trees, are rendered in contrast to the steelwork and the sky.
Some more fun images!
