The Garden in Infrared


I got out my old SONY a200k that I bought when I retired and used for 10 years or so and then replaced with a Canon T7i.  Then I had the SONY converted to infrared sensing, and you have seen some of my photographs of trees and plants photographed with that camera.  Because plants with chlorophyll in them reflect a lot of infrared light, those plants appear white.  I know a simple trick when I run out of creativity, but sometimes it makes for beautiful images.  This is a pot with plants that Kathy planted at the start of the season, and behind it are some grasses in the garden.  I think this all makes for an interesting photograph.

I really like this! Perhaps I can use dried flowers and spray them white so I can get the same effect.
