About the Image(s)

“How and why I created the image”

I was preparing to present an urban photography workshop in Toronto and I was simply walking around the downtown with more gear than I recommend carrying. I was experimenting with a camera modified to capture the infrared spectrum in colour. My photo is an example of the result of “playing around”, or if you prefer, experimenting with recording light outside of the visible spectrum.

The actual image is the vertical scene to the left of centre.
The reason for the horizontal crop of the same scene used as a muted “background” is because the majority of my photography is used for educational digital slide presentations to interested photographers, and I prefer to always fill the screen.

I employed a hand held, full frame digital camera with a wide angle lens at f/8.
(I do not recommend standing in the middle of a vehicular intersection to record a scene.)

Feel free to comment on the original digital image alone as well as the overall image portrayal, knowing it is part of a 90 minute presentation where every slide is the same 1200 X 1920 pixel shape.
