Infrared wedding photos from the Oakland Mormon Temple
When people get married at the Mormon Temple (or LDS Temple. Feel free to tell me in comments which is better) the temple itself is an important feature in the photographs. I love shooting there. As a photographer, I appreciate the scale, the lines, and the tones.
I’ve shot there many times, (here is another LDS wedding that made it to my blog) but this past week was my first time there with my infrared converted digital camera. It was a nice sunny day, which enhanced the effect.

I recently bought a digital canon, a D60, that has been converted to shoot infrared. Now, you can’t quote me on this, but here is to the best of my knowledge how this thing works. All digital cameras have a filter in them that blocks infrared and allows visible light to pass. In my new IR camera, someone has taken out that filter and placed instead a filter that does the opposite, blocks visible light and allows IR to pass.
If I’ve got that wrong, let me know in comments.
I first took the camera out to the Berkeley hills, and I loved it right away. I could tell immediately that I had to learn to see in a new way to get the most out of this camera, which as a photographer was an exciting prospect.
Then, I took the camera to the Big Sur River with some friends, and here are the results:

First graders from Montclair Elementary School in Oakland California are putting together an act for the talent show.
To raise money, the program of the show is selling ads. The parents of these children are buying an ad, and they wanted a photo of the kids.
The act is the kids singing and dancing to “It’s a Small World.” The children are in costumes and outfits from cultures all over the world.

Art Photography: Photo Safari Alameda Naval Base
Yesterday, I spent a little time on the old naval base is Alameda, CA.
I love old abandoned buildings and the like, so this place is a dream come true for me.
