    Half Dome in Infrared – A Monochrome Monument of Yosemite

    This black and white infrared photograph captures the awe-inspiring grandeur of Half Dome, Yosemite’s most iconic granite monolith. Shot with an infrared-converted camera, the familiar landscape is transformed into a surreal and hauntingly beautiful scene. The glowing white foliage, rendered ghostlike in infrared light, contrasts sharply with the imposing, textured face of the rock and the swirling, high-altitude clouds above.

    The infrared spectrum pulls unexpected detail and drama from both the sky and stone, revealing the raw power of Yosemite’s terrain in a way traditional color photography simply can’t match. The exaggerated contrast and dreamlike luminance evoke a timeless, almost otherworldly feel—as if the scene belongs to both the past and some distant future.

    This image is not just a documentation of a landmark; it’s a reimagining of a natural wonder through the lens of invisible light.

  • Timeless Light – Trinity Park in Infrared

    Timeless Light – Trinity Park in Infrared

    This majestic tree in Fort Worth’s Trinity Park took on an entirely new personality through the lens of my infrared camera. Shot in black and white infrared, the chlorophyll-rich leaves reflect infrared light, turning the canopy into a glowing cloud of white, like nature’s own sculpture against a brooding sky.

    Infrared photography allows us to see a world that exists just beyond human sight — a parallel landscape filled with unexpected tones and textures. In this case, it transformed a familiar Texas park into a dreamlike realm. The soft shimmer of the tree’s foliage contrasts beautifully with the dark grass and moody clouds, creating a composition that feels suspended in time.

    The empty benches and curving path add a quiet narrative — a peaceful pause, an invitation to sit and ponder beneath the shade of this spectral giant.

    Captured in Trinity Park, Fort Worth — one of my favorite urban green spaces — this image reminds me of how photography can reveal magic in the ordinary.
