Chicago, Millennium Park #blueskyartshow #shiny #thebean #cloudgate
a false color rendering of "The Bean" also known as "Cloudgate" in Chicago's Millennium Park. The photo is framed to capture the round reflective sculpture in the foreground with the rectilinear architecture in back. The reflection is of the lake side of the sculpture, the park and the skyline. It was captured in infrared and colors were assigned in post processing. The sky appears in blues and purples. The clouds are pinks and lavenders. The foliage is gold.

#blueskyartshow #skyline Zabriskie Point in infrared, black and white
An image of a view at the eroded hills of Zabriskie Point in Death Valley. The image is in black and white captured in the infrared spectrum. The sky is rendered black. The features are small hills eroded into a large field of v-shaped gullies created by the running water in the rare rains that fall in the region.

#blueskyartshow #skyline #seoul #korea Post Tower and the sunrise in Seoul, Korea. The sun aligned perfectly with the 19th floor hallway window of the Marriott in Namdaemun. I had to combine two exposures to have both sun and tower exposed properly.

Smoke from the grill was making great patterns, so I dropped the spatula and grabbed a camera. Pareidolia suggested a skull. With judicious application of light and shadow, I brought out what my mind suggested. I did stop shooting long enough to cook. #scary #smoke #ghost #skull

A blurred image of a woman alone on a beach on a bleak day. She stands facing away from the viewer with her arms crossed. Her hair is blowing off to her left. She is looking out over the water to the horizon. She is still and expectant of a sign or a message to ease her mind.

Here's a species that has come back from near extinction, but still has a long way to go. In the 19th Century, overhunting brought global Sea Otter numbers from 300,000 to 2,000. In 1913, they became protected internationally and it's taken 112 years to get back to an estimated 125,000 worldwide.

Lavender slide. Three images of a lavender bush captured while sweeping the camera in an arching motion. The three images were blended to yield the desired result. The result is an abstract of streaks and splashes of contrasting colors and tones.

Gazanias fluoresce under an ultraviolet light. The magentas turn a deep red, the whites turn a yellow green, pinks turn purple. Colors are the landing lights that guide pollinators to the landing zone, the center. The centers shine the brightest in yellow so they know where to go! #UVphotography
Gazania flowers fluoresce in wild colors under an ultraviolet light. The magentas turn a deep red, the whites turn a yellow green, pinks turn purple. All those colors form the lines that guide pollinators to the landing zone, the center. The centers shine the brightest in yellow so they know where to go!

The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain is bathed in blue green light in the morning. #blueskyartshow #windows
Morning light streams in through 20m tall stained glass windows. The windows are a neo-gothic design of slender vertical arches in rows and columns, each arch is punctuated with circular portholes. The light bathes the interior of Sagrada Familia in blues and greens. This is Barcelona's most iconic architectural treasure.

My first attempt at Ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) photography. Interesting that this flower is white when viewed in full sun, but under 365nm UV light alone, this is its visible fluorescence.
A "white" fortnight lily fluoresces in shades of magenta under a 365nm UV light. The fluorescence is faint to our eyes and gets overpowered by the reflected visible light we see. When we look, we see a white flower. This illustrates how pollinators whose eyes may be calibrated to process a different range of visible light are able to find flowers.
