While at Echo Amphitheater in Abiquiú, I shot some infrared.
I've tended to process my infrareds to black and white as I never felt satisfied with my attempts at false color processing with channel swapping.
I've been learning more this past year about working with color prior to converting to black and white.
In the first comment box below is the unedited shot, pretty much all brown. Shot through the Hoya R72, 720 nm filter. The custom white balance that I had set keeps it from being totally magenta.
As has been my common result, using the Channel Mixer adjustment layer and swapping values for the red and blue channels wasn't great.
I've been learning what the Selective Color adjustment layer does, so opened that under the Channel Mixer layer.
It allowed me to play with how much red, yellow, green, blue, cyan and magenta are within colors and thereby fine tune what the Channel Mixer does.
Things were better.
Then I opened a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer above Channel Mixer and found that playing with the Master and moving the Hue slider helped too.
After working on tonal ranges, using midtone luminosity masks on curves layers and dodging and burning, I still didn't like how much purple was in the sky.
I tried the Select Color command to isolate the sky and that created a mask when I opened the Color Balance adjustment layer. Mostly working on shadows and midtones to reduce red, increase blue and increase green got the deep blue color.
I've been learning about the Hard Mix blend mode, and after using the color picker to grab the color of the trees, I opened a Color Fill adjustment layer, set it to Hard Mix and then reduced the Fill opacity to 7%. This enhanced the tree color.
Finally, I got a false color infrared that actually had definite color.
Why did I do all this?
This extreme edit became the underlying base to a black and white version of the shot. All the color stuff I've been learning was part of tutorials on processing for BW.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, I hope to post that on Thursday for Donnerstagsmonochrom.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
For weeks I wondered aimlessly in the valley
Seeking answers to the many questions that raced through my mind
Where was everyone? Why the white bones? The dry wells?
The barren valley where people must have lived and died
I sat down and buried my face in my hands
And resting I learned the secret of the Shifting, Whispering Sands

A panorama of South Lake Tahoe from Echo Summit. Elevation over 7000 ft. I got there from Sacramento which is about sea level. It's a steep winding ascend to this area in the Eldorado National Forest. A lot of steep winding ups and downs along the way next to cliffs and a river. It's one of those roads where you can't take your eyes off the road, or your hands off the wheel. A challenging road to maintain speed limits. And the drive down is just as exciting.
Here's the link to my YouTube video of the road trip:
Thanks for viewing.
The hike to observation point in Zion begins with a steep ascent, followed by a short walk through echo canyon where the trail rises again.
This shaded flat spot was a perfect spot to cool down for a bit.
I've been adding to my Echoes series again, this time at a manor house that was deserted some time ago. I thoroughly enjoyed this visit though, as always, I was too nervous to fully think about what I was doing photography wise. I really enjoy visiting these places by myself but there are times when I wish there was someone to keep watch for me.
I know I said this red dress was getting put back in the box for a while but I knew it would add a bit of colour to a dark, decaying backdrop. I promise you won't see it in the next few shoots ;0)
Lastly, do we think that this is too dark?

Hope you're all enjoying Sping & March. I'm still super busy with Echo....taking her to multiple dog training classes and many outings during the day.
Two more pics below in comments.
Just posting a recent shot of Echo taken on our drive last Memorial Weekend.
If you follow me on facebook, you've already seen it.
I still don't have time to visit your stream and comment like I used to.
I have been viewing most of your pics and commenting sporadically but am finding that it's not fair if I comment at a few of my follower's streams but leave others out so I will stop commenting completely until I have time to devote to Flickr like before.
NO comments necessary. I just wanted to add this to Echo's 2014 set. Have a great weekend and June everyone!!!

This is part of Chiracahua National Monument. Echo Canyon is an overlook site. The valley in the distance leads to Wilcox, Arizona some 35 miles north.
The city breathing
The people churning
The conversating
The price is what?

This place is heaven
I put on lipstick

Life makes echoes
If you see them
Life makes echoes

For a fleeting moment, the airshow disappears. Aircraft, smoke and a storm-darkened sky recreate the tension of another time — an echo of history suspended between memory and spectacle.
This is from the first half finale of Cirque du Soleil's Echo, Big Top show. It is the fourth Cirque show I've seen and this one is far and above the best I have ever seen. If you get a chance to see it go.
One of the most beautiful and least visited parts of Dinosaur National Monument, Echo Park is a accessible by the 12 mile dirt road winding its way through the frame or by boat/raft on either the Green River or Yampa River which merge at Echo Park. The NPS considers this a "primitive area." There are no dinosaur artifacts or fossils in this part of the DNM. Moffat County, Colorado.
Taking lots of pics of Echo as she'll only be this young/ small for a short time and want to make sure I have taken plenty.
The only problem is that she doesn't know the "stay" command yet, and is so busy/ active--so constantly moving. Plus when I kneel down to her level she immediately stops what she's doing and will run to me!
So, here she is at a local school yard and park this morning. We take her out early so she has the entire place to herself and can run and play while it's cool out.
Most of my time here will be intermittent and at night.
