IR Earthscapes Project

February 14, 2011 By A. Cemal Ekin Leave a Comment

As the print version of the IR Earthscapes publication is getting ready, I have been working to have a digital version available as well. Instead of simply replicating the print magazine on computer screen, I wanted to create an electronic document that used the attributes of the digital medium. To account for the emitted light, the background is darker; to accommodate the aspect ratio of computer monitors, its layout is in landscape orientation; and it will have on-screen navigation to skip to the next/previous pages. Here is a preview of the digital edition of the Infrared Earthscapes magazine.

The digital version will be available along with the print edition, real soon now!

Infrared Earthscapes Magazine Preview

I hinted at a printed version of the photographs presented in the slide show IR Earthscapes. Here is a preview of the printed magazine. It is much abridged but will give an idea of its contents consisting of three sections. You can flip the pages either by dragging the corners or by clicking on the corners.

Watch for the magazine announcement coming soon.

Infrared Earthscapes

January 22, 2011 By A. Cemal Ekin 1 Comment

Infrared photography interests me with its surreal looking landscapes, objects, and people. But all those pale in comparison to infrared aerial photography. Topography becomes abstract, clouds and shadows ethereal and elusive, and the scratches man has made on earth seem insignificant

I have taken many such photographs and shared some in the past. In an effort to show them in a unified way I have been working on a publication and this slide show. There will be more about the publication as it becomes ready for printing. For now, open your mind, sit back for about 8-9 minutes and listen to the meditative music, and enjoy the wonder of Infrared Earthscapes.

Technical note for the interested

I used a Canon G7 camera modified for infrared sensitivity to take all the photographs in this collection from the window of planes as I flew between Providence and Salt Lake City in the last few years. They were recorded mostly as RAW format images and processed to reflect my sensibilities.

Oak Bluffs in infrared

September 13, 2009 By A. Cemal Ekin Leave a Comment

I carried my Canon G7 to Martha’s Vineyard along with the large format camera to take some infrared photographs. The weather was quite suitable for IR photography with blue skies with many clouds, and green foliage. True to the IR rendering, the sky turns out very dark, the green foliage turns white, and all the reds lighten up. Here is a collection of infrared photographs from Martha’s Vineyard, more specifically from Oak Bluffs. You will get a chance to see Peter Norton house in infrared too. (I incorrectly attributed the house to Tom Clancy earlier.)

Kardelen in Infrared

As the queen of the house, and a fine Angora cat, Kardelen deserved a little mor study. Yesterday, I photographed her with my IR camera for enhanced contrast and pale rendering of her pink skin, essentially white-on-white study.

The second Kardelen study, in infrared is below.
