Green foliage, blue skies and bright sunlight are daily staples in southwest Florida, and all three of these elements combine to make strong infrared photographs. While the look of the final image and final print will vary with your processing style, green foliage can read as white, blue skies will go dark, and bright sunlight produces high contrast. If you like black and white prints, these qualities of an infrared photo will deliver greater contrast and drama than traditional film or digital photography.
Here is a recent infrared photograph that I captured at the Naples Botanical Garden on a sunny afternoon and processed to black and white, achieving the contrast I strive for.

I’m not a fan of infrared photography, but that is beautiful, Cathy! You may be swaying my feelings toward IR!

Thank you, Arlene. Infrared processing is full of creative choices. I feel like a painter, choosing color, contrast, luminosity, saturation. Making an image is rewarding.
