Just Outside the Park

[JimFox]

I was heading to the Black Rock Canyon Campground in Joshua Tree National Park last week, and noticed this field of Joshua Trees that is just outside the park boundary. I had to pull over and pull out my Infrared camera for this. I was processing this in IR, and that was my intent, until I did a B&W conversion on it and decided that I really liked it in B&W.

All comments are welcome,

Makes a really nice B&W. IR seems made for desert scenes like this.

I really like this Jim but if it were a straight B&W it would look different I think

Thanks Alan. It sure does.

I am glad you like this Ben. It could look different perhaps, our processing tools are getting so powerful, it's hard to say I think. Typically in a normal B&W the vegation has a more gray look to it. That's one thing that's nice with the IR, the ability to go to a more white vegetation which I like a lot.

The contrast with the white vegetation and black sky is starting and it works well.

So cool Jim and I agree with Alan. IR seems to be a perfect match for desert scenes.
