A Walk With My Dad

Kessler Park in Northeast Kansas City, Missouri 

Opportunity

This is one of those photographs that you have to wait for.   I decided that these trees on the hill would look really good after a good snow.  So, after it had snowed for a while I went to Kessler Park just west of the Kansas City Museum.  I used a 4x5 view camera for the shot and hiked in a big circle so I wouldn't put any tracks in the shot.  This was taken in 1993.  A scanned black and white negative.

Foggy Fall Day

Fall of 2013 it was misty and foggy in Kessler Park next to the Kansas City Museum. A good day for moody pictures.

Infrared Three

The Colonnade in Northeast Kansas City.  Experimenting again with infrared photography.

 I compose and focus the image, then adjust the focus for infrared, add the filter to the front of the lens, and shoot.   The filter blocks 100% of the visible light leaving only the infrared to reach the sensor.   No way to meter the light so trial and error applies.

 Above, this is what the image looks like coming right out of the camera, and, below, after adjustment in Photoshop.
