Infrared

Experimented with infrared photography today.  Read online where the Nikon D800 was not usable for same, but then Roy Inman found an article online that said otherwise.  Otherwise is correct.  My IR filter is 67mm and I currently have no lenses of that diameter... so, had to hold the filter in front of my 50mm lens.   Works but not optimal.  I had forgotten how difficult IR can be.   Above, Indian Mound, below, the KC skyline from Kessler Park.

Monuments

Dedicated in 1877 Mount Saint Marys' Cemetery is the final resting place for many of Kansas City's founders.  St. Francis Regis was the first Catholic Church in Kansas City, located near where the present day Cathedral stands.  Those interned in it's graveyard were moved to MSM after it's dedicated.  The shot above I call Monuments as it incorporates man's tributes to both the quick and the dead. 


I want to thank Father Joseph Totton for telling me about this photo opportunity!!!!!

Rivers of Ice

Kansas City from Kaw Point with the iced-up Missouri River.  The river is flowing along as usual just with chunks of ice.   Below, the Kaw flowing into the Missouri.  Kaw surface is more frozen, water flowing underneath.
