Until this year, I've never taken the time to explore the trails behind the North Carolina Museum of Art. I found this beautiful tree next to a pond. The tree is green, but in infrared light, looks like it is glowing with light. Leaves and plants tend to reflect a lot of infrared light, giving them the appearance of being made of snow or ice.
I'd probably do better on naming my floral photography if I just knew the names of the plants a bit better. This was taken while I was out with my little brother. We were passing time until I could go check out my rented Canon 400mm lens, and this was a shot I found at ground level monst other flowers. That morning had seen some rain and misting, and the weather was generally rubbish for shooting bird shots. My little brother had a few good shots of his own, as he was borrowing my mom's Rebel T3i.
I frequently relax by listening to post-rock bands. This has a few effects if I do so while working on photography. Photographs worked on tend to take on a more abstract look, and the titles tend to be... Longer. Many bands in post rock have sentence-length song titles. Anyway, I relaly felt like one was fitting for this photograph. Despite being clearly a nature photograph of birds, it has a very distinct appeal.
