THE SANTA BARBARA TRAIN STATION

I finally heard from Mack Camera and Video Repair – my Canon 5D is on the way home once again, and should be in my hands by Friday of this week – WOO HOO ! ! !

Just because most of the photographic world has moved to digital capture and therefore digital processing of images, doesn’t mean infrared is gone forever.

Today’s image is a classic example of the effects that can be applied in post-processing to garner the same rendition of an image as one captured by infrared film.
