Infrared at Ravenwood

 

  

 

Infrared images taken last week around Jim's home, Ravenwood, featuring the waterfall and sauna building. Such a beautiful and peaceful spot.

To achieve this, LifePixel converted several Canon 10D for Jim. For more information on infrared photography, please visit http://www.lifepixel.com/index.html.
