Rural mundaneness, but IR..

Also from my semi motivated post summer hike, classic b&w this time, but via a false-color development (the 720nm 'winter land scape') first to have more wiggle room for tweaking. The dark field in the foreground was freshly plowed. 🚜

 

 

Part of the reason why I'm not very active here recently is that my right hand is still bothering me (the tendon thing), unfortunately. While I was collecting tons of infrared panoramas (~200GB sitting on some disc now) over the summer, in an effort to get away from the computer (clicking, which I couldn't do much of), eventually the active part of my semi-pathetic photographic endeavors came to a screeching halt as well now, since there is really limited sense or appeal in producing heaps of photos without the ability to develop them. 😕

Positive aspect (gotta look out for these too, ..right?); this really showed me the place and value of photography in my / this life 😳, and that surfing Flickr and connecting with what you guys are doin' without sharing some of my own is nice too (..beware of too much inspiration without outlet though). 😧

I picked up reading, which kinda fell dormant in recent times, but I do a lot of now / again. Currently going / tripping down some deep philosophical / metaphysical rabbit hole I had stuck in the back of my mind for years.

Ironically, IR photography partially led to or prepared the ground for this also.. but that's a story for another day. 😜
