Today I headed with my friend Nigel up to Lion’s Head for a weekend adventure on the trails. This three and a half hour drive can be tedious but there are some goodies to photograph along the way.
Abandoned House
An old abandoned house, on the west side of the highway, has caught my eye a few times but with the fall colours it was hard not to pull over and get some shots. And then I had to try it out in infrared.

Back on the road after getting some shots of the house we decided to stop at Jones Falls in Owen Sound and make our way along the trail to the bottom of the waterfall. Someone had decided to build a little waterfall guardian at its base.

I couldn’t leave you without a photo of the falls so here is a view just off to the side.
Jones Falls
From here we got back onto the trail and headed back to the car for the final leg of the trip.
Although I have dabbled in the occasional InfraRed photo I finally bit the bullet and got myself a converted camera to play with. Needless to say this is my new obsession. I blame Nigel Banks.
Home in Ruins Infrared
I headed north with Nigel to an abandoned home outside of Markdale. Summer is an amazing time to get your InfraRed on. The leaves turn white and those bright blue skies turns beautiful black. Course this only comes with a lot of post processing to ensure you have that beautiful contrast in your photos.
Ivy Covered Barn Infrared
But aren’t these just lovely? The barn above I happened to spot as we headed from Walter’s Falls to a lunch spot just up the street.
Shack in Infrared
I think this little converted camera will have a spot in my camera bag going forward. I just can’t get enough of InfraRed.
