A flash of color in the stillness — the unmistakable badge of a red-winged blackbird perched in spring foliage.

Exploring spring through a different spectrum đŸŒżđŸ“·

On a recent trip to Klamath Falls, Oregon, I tested a 720nm infrared filter on my full-spectrum camera. This shot captures a weeping willow just leafing out beside an old barn. Thanks to the high chlorophyll content and strong afternoon light, the tree lit up beautifully in infrared. Post-processing brought the sky back to a familiar blue by channel-swapping red and blue, giving this dreamy, otherworldly result.

Infrared truly reveals a hidden side of nature — especially in spring.
