A few infrared photos from a quick trip to Chicago this weekend...

At the Chicago Cultural Center, a glimpse of Atelier Bow-Wow's Piranesi Circus installation:

Prom photos in Millennium Park, taken through the second floor windows of the Cultural Center:

Trump Tower Chicago, a statue of George Washington in the foreground:

 While in Chicago I caught the Aaron Siskind exhibit of abstract photography at the Art Institute, which is running through August 14th, 2016. Great collection of photos, definitely worth seeing.

Another infrared tree from South Carolina last month:

Taken in Magnolia Gardens.

A digital infrared image of the Biggin Church Ruins near Moncks Corner, South Carolina:

 

Infrared converted Nikon P6000 point and shoot.

Another image from Ferry Point Park in Maryland:

Infrared converted Pentax K10D and DA 17-70mm lens.

Another shot from the beach at Ferry Point Park in Chester, Maryland (click on the image for a larger file):

Ferry Point is a small park on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, but provided some great photo opportunities.

Another digital infrared image - I left the color intact in this one. IR converted Pentax K10D with DA 17-70mm lens.

Another snapshot from my wanders in Maryland last week - this was taken at the Ferry Point Park on the Eastern Shore:

Pam and I spent the last week touring some of the rural historical sites in Maryland. It was a fun trip and I have a few photos to sort through. Here is a snapshot taken yesterday of the Dahlgren chapel, located just off the Appalachian Trail in western MD. Click on the image for a larger file.

IR converted Pentax K10D with DA 17-70 lens.

I visited some old haunts in the Allegan Forest today. This late spring… no leaves on the trees and here it is, almost May.

Here is an infrared photo of a some twisted little trees that always seem appealing to me (click on the image for a larger view):

And here is a nearby group of walnut trees, a place where I have whiled away many an afternoon:

Both photos were taken with an infrared converted Pentax K-10 and Pentax DA 17-70 f4 lens.

I’m repeating myself a little bit here - the twisted little trees were the subject of another IR post in 2008, “Trees in October.” In that case the image was taken with Kodak HIE. And one of the walnut trees was the test subject for a comparison of the IR properties of RM90 and R72 IR filters, in 2007. So I’m repeating myself a little bit here.
