Everglades in Infrared – 4

Everglades in Infrared – 4, 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. Even though it was early afternoon, and the sun was high, there were tons of things to photograph. Especially in infrared.
In this particular photograph, the foreground is actually a canal – I loved how the water turned black. The grass white and the trees lighter. With infrared, everything looks so familiar, yet so strange. It makes one look deeper into the photograph – at least I think so. Very soon, I’ll come up with my version of processing for infrared in Lightroom.
