Description
This beautiful, infrared black and white image I captured during a drive through Santee Coastal Reserve, between Charleston, SC and Georgetown, SC. There was a storm brewing nearby and my mind quickly went to realizing just how many storms these beautiful trees have survived. Thus the title. This area has a spectacular array of ancient live oaks that lure you in around every turn. These magnificent trees are my absolute favorites to photograph. The Spanish moss hangs from them like wavey gray locks from a senior lady's proud head.
I love infrared black and white and have a dedicated camera that is converted to only capture infrared. Photographing in this spectrum can yield stunning and unique results. Infrared photography captures wavelengths of light that are beyond the visible spectrum, giving a surreal and ethereal appearance to the images. Oak trees are particularly interesting subjects for infrared photography due to their distinct foliage and texture.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
