Italy in Infrared
Well, we have been home for a little over two weeks, and I still have not managed to go through all of our Italy pictures!
As I start though, I thought I’d share some with you all =)
We went to Italy for our honeymoon, and although we had 1/100th the quality of camera equipment at the time, we took some pretty good shots. So this time, we weren’t as motivated to take a ton of pictures all over again (although we did carry all 50 pounds of equipment every we went) – partly because our minds were fixated on food and coffee the whole time…oh yeah…and wine!
We did however have our “new” IR camera with us – and that was definitely fun because it was a new way to photograph the sites. Unfortunately we converted our Rebel XT to IR – looking back, we wish we would have converted the 40D so we would have a better quality IR camera. Maybe in the future…
So, here is my first shot to share: a picture from the park at Villa Borghese in Roma. We rented bikes for an hour and rode around the park. It was AWESOME – especially because it gave us a chance to get off our feet, and travel fast enough to have wind blowing in our hair. Love it.

I love Villa Borghese. My best photography is from there, wandering around for an afternoon myself in college, soaking it all in. Glad you guys had such a great time! Can’t wait to see all the amazing photography. :o)
you are totally right – it was BEAUTIFUL. wish I could live in italy for a year…or more! stay tuned – definitely more pics coming =)
That is amazing! I adore that photograph. I have never seen an IR camera before. Very cool.
thanks – yes they are very cool. makes you see things in a different way – which is kind of the point!
