One day while at the Roslyn (Episcopal retreat center in Richmond), I decided to venture down near the canal to photograph the geese. Clumsy me, I spooked them, but got a few snaps in flight that I thought were kind of cool.
Infrared photography captures light from a wavelength outside the normal viewing range. Green leaves often appear white. Blue skies look dark.
God sees all wavelengths of light both hidden and invisible. It makes me wonder what we will see in heaven when we get our glorified bodies... and eyes!
The other night I was walking near sunset, and began to see some beautiful pinks and purples in the clouds. I ran back and popped on my wide-angle lens and snapped just a few pics before all the color was gone. It was truly beautiful! Another example of the Master's creative hand.
I snapped this pic from the balcony of our hotel, while staying at the beach. A storm came through just after sunset, and began pelting the ocean with dozens of lightning strikes.
A local farm off Courthouse Road offers sunflowers at $1 for 3. Always thinking of how something God created might look in infrared, I grabbed my Nikon and snapped a few pics out on my back porch. I think there is some unique beauty infrared brings to something as simple as this scene.
