Crimson Park - Infrared Nature Photos June 25th 2020

I have been having a lot of fun with my IR camera over these past few months. With all this free time and wonderful weather I cant think of a better time to shoot.

The following images are the result of my recent trip to Triadelphia reservoir. I am really happy with the way these turned out. The first image I like to call “Crimson Park”, and it might just be my new favorite. The second photo titled “Dreamland Blue” was taken in the same location as one of my first IR photos from 2015. It’s really interesting to see how much things have changed since then, both the location itself, as well as my skills with IR photography.

In addition to the photos above, ill also include some of the images that didn’t quite make the cut. A few of them are really neat, I just need to work out some kinks with them.

I had a lot of fun taking these photos. I hope you all are staying safe during these hard times. Have a wonderful day.

11 More Images Added to "Aqueous Motion - Volume 1"

On Monday I posted a small collection of five images titled "Aqueous Motion - Volume 1", today I have added eleven new images to the series. I mainly focused on perfecting the techniques used on Monday's shoot and i've learned quite a bit from doing so. If you need more information on the project itself feel free to check out Monday's post for more information. 

In the meantime enjoy the photos. 

New Photo Series - "Aqueous Motion - Volume 1"

After seeing quite a few examples online I decided to experiment with underwater ink photography. It took a while for me to find the correct ink to use in order to get the effect present in the images, but after a few hours of research I finally found the right kind of ink for the job. 

The following five images were created by dropping acrylic ink into a flower vase. I than captured the flowing cloud of ink by using a flash and a very fast shutter speed. After I went through about 100 test images and a few gallons of water, I managed to pick out these five as the best images. 

Im still experimenting with this technique, so expect more in the near future. 

Below are the five final images. Enjoy, and let me know what you think. 

[Photo] - "A Splash Of Blue" - Final Edit

About a month ago I posted an image titled "A Splash Of Blue". I was not happy with the initial results of the image which has prompted me to revisit it a few times over the past few months. After re shooting the bottle I can now say that I am happy with the final results. 

Below is the final version of "A Splash Of Blue".

Here is another photo taken as a part of my portfolio evaluation class. 

I had a bit more trouble with this one than normal. I ended up with at least three versions of this photo that I was not happy with. After getting some feedback from my professor I finally decided on this version, which was a lot different than my original idea. 

The entire image is a composite made out of at least five photographs. All the images were combined within Photoshop to create the final effect. 

As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated. I am currently looking for ways to improve this one, so it will likely change a few times before the semester is over.
