Description
Once called the Eighth Wonder of the World by Teddy Roosevelt, Burney Falls is certainly a majestic sight! Itโs also one of the most over-photographed spots in the western USA making it very hard to produce an image that doesnโt look like a thousand other images already in existence. Enter infrared photography. Iโve only seen one other infrared image of the falls prior to capturing it in invisible light myself. I captured this image with my full spectrum camera fitted with an 830 nanometer โdeep infraredโ filter. It was late on an early May afternoon when some unsettled weather was moving through the area making for some dramatic clouds overhead yet providing some sun to get that nice IR glow off the trees. Being a weekday in less than stellar weather, it also kept the crowd at bay and I had the overlook to myself for a time which certainly helped!
