A midwestern farm on an infrared-y day

The Ridges

This is a spooky place. It is at the former Athens Insane Asylum -- look it up -- now called The Ridges. The mood imparted by infrared matches the mood of the place.

It had just rained and was about to rain some more. That's the approaching storm in the distance. One of the fascinations with infrared (850nm, in this case) is that it is difficult to estimate when everything will just turn gray. Not here, and I have no idea why.

Infrared (850nm in this case) and white light see water differently. Trees too, of course.

Hills, woods, clouds, and a road to ?

Pictures through the woods appeal to me. This one isn't obviously made in deep infrared, but it is.

Maybe vandals, or an earthquake

It would be good to reconstruct these markers. Many of the ones here suffer from the stone having been that stuff that erodes quickly, so we cannot know even the name of the person buried there.

Not a bad place to rest for eternity

Here lie people from this area, including veterans of every American war, and their spouses and children. Like the area itself, it's pretty and not too crowded. If you want to look it up, it's Broadwell Cemetery, though in some old listings it's called Spruce Run Cemetery.

Yes, a failure

I hoped the sun might be a lot cleaner, but shooting through an IR filter plus a 10-element lens -- 14mm f2.8 Fujinon, my favorite wide angle since the 21mm Super Angulon for the Leicas -- was being asked too much. Still, I found the result kind of interesting.

It's atop the hill, back in the woods. While color infrared processing is more complicated -- not a lot more, but some -- at 850nm all you need to do in processing is to invoke auto white balance (in processing, not the camera, which you do separately), and boom, you have a picture.

A nice surprise

Generally in digital photography, when a highlight is blown out, that's it -- it's gone. This is not so much the case with 850nm infrared. Here, I brought down the highlights a little, and raised the shadows a little, and found that there was a lot of detail in both.

Black-and-white is all you get at 850nm

None of the false color infrared stuff, which is fun, too, but I'm growing more and more to realize that the purists who insist infrared art is monochome have a point.

It was the most gorgeous day since creation, and I decided to climb the hill across the road from me. I was armed with a Fuji X-E2 and an 850nm infrared filter. The excursion didn't disappoint me.
