Redwood National Park

article and photographs by Ben Lincoln

I visited Redwood National Park in 2007. You can find my impressions and more photos in the Drive 2007 - Day 02 article.

NIR Luma / RGB Colour

This is my favourite of the "looking up at the redwoods" variety of photo, because the variations across the spectrum are so surprising. The second tinted NIR version was taken using a Hoya R72 filter instead of the higher-cutoff NIR filters that I normally use.

NIR Luma / Accidental Colour

My favourite picture of the day is this shot of a fallen tree. Like most of this forest, there are a lot of interesting changes across the spectrum, but they show up best in this photo (particularly the G-B-UVA variation). The "Accidental Colour" version came about when I did one step wrong processing the photo, but I liked the way it looked.
