Just a few images today of some architectural details of a building in Santa Barbara. It is actually part of the Jefferson Campus<\/a> that I wrote about yesterday. While I haven’t had the chance to photograph the entire building, these are just two shots that I grabbed as I was there.<\/p>\n

Shooting on campus requires permission, and I don’t have that yet, so I can’t stay to do the campus justice . . . one of these days though, I will make it a priority.<\/p>\n

is this called a steeple or is it a chimney?<\/p><\/div>\n

Santa Barbara, actually the entire south central coast of California, is rich in architectural details of its buildings. Weather vanes and chimneys prevail – there are so many varieties! So much to photograph, so little time!<\/p>\n

a sample of the architecture that is so prevalent in Santa Barbara<\/p><\/div>\n

This second image has been converted to infrared – I guess I am really liking this effect. But I also like the warmth of adding what I refer to now as a ‘touch of chocolate’. I tried converting the first image to infrared, but the grain pattern was super ugly, and the darkness of the sky almost obliterated the weather vane, causing me to add quite a bit of ‘fill light’, in turn causing the grain to get even worse – don’t you just love editing images? And don’t you just love run on sentences?<\/p>\n

So here is the question of the day . . . when converting an image to infrared, why does the sky not always change to a dark color ?<\/p>\n

I don’t have the precise answer to this, but I am thinking it has something to do with the angle of the sun relative to the film plane – a study and topic of interest for another day. If anyone has an answer to this or has done the research already, please let me know and I will be sure to add your comment and response to this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
