If this is the first time you're seeing this area of Ohio in the winter, stop what you're doing and plan a trip to Hocking Hills. Seriously, just go do it. The trails are amazing, there's almost no weather situation that makes the experience any less magical, and even if you aren't a photographer, there's something there for you. Unless, of course, you're a fan of cell phone signals; this is the place where those go to die, and it's just you and mother nature.
Today's scene is yet another from Cedar Falls trail when snow has dusted the ground, and the late afternoon sun is shining through the flurries in an amazing display.

Cemeteries and infrared photography go together almost as well as peanut butter and jelly. You've got regularly static subject matter, an open grounds to look for light, and few folks (living) to get in the picture. Seriously though, in years of playing with infrared film, cemeteries have always been consistently great places too shoot.
Today's photo comes from the Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, OH. It dates a little over 150 years old, and it shows. Spring Grove sits along the industrial outskirts of Cincinnati, and seems un-phased by the economic ups and downs of the region. This is a place worth visiting and revisiting!

Cedar Falls has got to be my favorite place to visit in the Hocking Hills region. Today I'm heading back down there with my 8x10" Tachihara field camera and some Ilford Delta 100 B&W film. Last week we tested it in my developer of choice, Pyrocat HD and found a working ISO of 125. With those results we're putting it through its paces in gorgeous Southern Ohio.
Follow along the hike and watch the photographs made here:

The ruins of the amazing brutalist building in my neighbourhood, that could be one of the landmarks of the city, but has been abandoned and neglected for decades instead. Due to some weird legal issues, it has been slowly decaying, and now it is about to be demolished by a devloper.
