On Presidents day I headed up to Gettysburg to spend a couple of hours on my Civil War Infrared project. I also planned to stay for some sunset photos over the battlefield. While heading up to the Gettysburg area I noticed some great cloud structures in the sky which works very well to show contrast in Infrared photos. I also decided prior to going up that I wanted to concentrate on black and white infrared (rather than my normal orange toned IR photos.) I can process them either way, but I went up trying to pre-visualize my results in black and white.

When I arrived at the battlefield (near the Pennsylvania monument) I was happy to see that the cloud patterns were excellent and I was very happy with the results.



I also brought my color camera and grabbed some color photos as well.


I was not as happy with the sunset photos because I forgot my split ND filter at home so I had to play with these in Lightroom to get the foreground details to show up. That just means I need try again.
