J ust back from a two day trip to the Flint Hills, I have many new images to process. I took both my Canon 5D and Sony F828 cameras along, but had trouble the first day with the Sony. This is the camera I use to capture infrared images, but the menus were jumping around and I could not get it to select “nightshot mode”. After messing with it at the hotel in the evening using a freshly charged battery, it suddenly started to work correctly. So the next day I was able to make a number of infrared captures. But I am a little worried about the future of this camera. If it dies I will be forced to acquire a new IR solution.

When shooting in infrared, composition and lighting decision criteria are different. In fact, subjects not worth capturing in visible light can be magical in infrared, and vice-versa. Thus having both modalities available dramatically increases the potential of many venues, and helps to expand my relationship with existence.
