The Jupiter

Every year, for three days between Christmas and New Years, The Golden Spike National Monument hosts their annual Steam Festival.  During these three days, they bring out one of the engines and do a number of demonstration runs throughout each day.  Because it is cold out, the steam from the engines can be very dramatic.  Every year, I look forward to making the trip out to catch one of the demonstrations.  This year, it was the Jupiter's turn.  Since I've shot this event numerous times, I decided that I would take the opportunity to shot this one primarily with my infrared camera.  I'm glad I did, it made for some really great black and white images.

Balloons in Black and White

I spent the last week in Albuquerque, working at the Balloon Fiesta.  I took along my IR camera, just for the sake of trying something a little different.  I've gotta say, it was a lot of fun shooting with it and the black and white images are pretty cool.

Fall Colors

The other day, I took the opportunity to head out and wander in search of some fall colors.
The leaves I've seen have been pretty fantastic and I wanted to get out and shoot before they were gone.
The day did not disappoint.

These last few images were shot with the IR converted 5D Mk II.
