Ebey's Landing is a National Historic Reserve in central Whidbey Island, Washington state. My daughter Meg and I went there for a short hike on Tuesday afternoon and I snapped this image of her as she struck a cheeky pose. Infrared image with Sigma Quattro Sd, Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

Coupeville is a tiny, picturesque town on Whidbey Island in Washington state, USA. Despite its diminutive size (listed as 1.23 square miles), it is the county seat of Island County. Infrared with Sigma Quattro SD with Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

I was relaxing outside with a beer on Sunday afternoon. It was a glorious day here. I glanced up from my beer and saw these cirrus clouds and felt inspired to photograph them. They had similar qualities to my beer in that they dissipated quickly but were quite wonderful while they lasted.

Camano Island (actually pronounced "cameeno" around these parts) is accessible by bridge and that bridge is about a one hour drive north of Seattle. This view is looking East from near Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island. Infrared monochrome with Sigma SD Quattro with Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

Crazy reflections enhanced by the infrared light. Sigma Quattro SD with Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

For some years Seattle has been a hotbed of construction and I find the cranes that facilitate the builds to be very interesting things. There must be hundreds of them at work in the city on any given day. Here's just one.

Shooting reflections in infrared monochrome often seems to reveal the light more intensely. On Wednesday we had a cloud-free sky and so I took a walk around Seattle to capture some architectural images. I was looking for that dark sky effect but also had my eyes peeled for reflected light. This...

I made this shot while visiting Discovery Park in Seattle. Infrared with Sigma Quattro SD with Sigma 30/1.4 Art lens and Hoya R72 filter.

I've started a series which I call Arboreal Studies in Winter. I haven't decided whether to include this one, mainly because the right side of the tree is outside of the frame. (I was shooting with a prime lens and backing up to get the whole tree would have included other things I didn't want...

The heid is actually called Echo. It's a sculpture by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa located in Seattle's Olympic Sculpture Park. The Spanish word for "head" is cabeza. But I don't know if there is a Spanish word for heid. I don't think it's echo. Infrared with Sigma Quattro SD, Sigma 30/1.4 and...

Former military housing at Discovery Park in Seattle, Washington. This picture holds appeal for me that I cannot fully define. I like the angles (porch shadow, roof line, etc.) but otherwise it is mundane I think. Yet somehow it appeals. (To me at least.) Critiques welcome. Infrared with...

On sunny days I've been shooting a lot of infrared monochrome images lately. This is image number 5 of a grain elevator adjacent to Centennial Park in Seattle. (I humour myself by calling the series a "study;" I was simply on a stroll and tried to achieve some interesting angles that contrasted...
