Decaying Oak Leaf Decaying oak leaf on the dry bed of Sutter Creek.
Infrared Camera To take infrared pictures with my point and shoot camera (not my dedicated infrared camera which is still in Japan), I bought an IR filter (a Hoya Infrared R72) and just hang it on the lens assembly of my camera. I've dropped the filter a few times but so far, it's still in one piece... The filter is very dense, requiring a minimum of 15 seconds per exposure with a very wide aperture. The result is also a dim red image, which I process for lightness and convert to grayscale.
Sutter Creek Bed Sutter Creek bed, looking mostly dry due to the extended drought. There is a trickle of water that is still flowing, but underneath most of the surface rocks and gravel.
