Everglades in Infrared – 2, by Suprada on Flickr.

Big Cypress Natural Preseve, Florida

I got the opportunity to visit Everglades National Park and its neighbor, Big Cypress National Preserve back in October. When I drove up, my first stop was at Clyde Butcher’s “Big Cypress Gallery” on the Tamiami trail. Clyde’s photographs and his story are amazing. You can take a look at some of his photos at his website. I found this very good interview of Clyde Butcher at the Double Exposure website.

So after spending some time looking at Clyde’s huge black and white photographs, I was extremely enthusiastic to go out and do some shooting of my own. It was a beautiful day, though it was just past noon by the time I got done loking at Clyde’s photographs. Also I had left late that morning for my 4 hr drive. What to do? All the beautiful morning light was gone. So out came my tiny (or not so tiny) G9 with the infrared filter. This photograph is one in a series I made that afternoon. I must say, the more I shoot in infrared, the more I seem to like it.
