Cucamonga by Naomi Frost

Cucamonga

An IR shot. Title inspired by Frank Zappa again.
.........................................................................................................
Out in Cucamonga
Many years ago
Near a Holy Roller Church
There was once a place
Where me and a couple of friends
Began practicing for the time
We might go
On TV
And as fate would have it
Later on we got a chance to play.
All we ever really knew:
That it was crazy





Why not check out “Fenced Off” while you’re here…

Cucamonga belongs to the following groups:

  • David de Groot

    David de Groot, 8 months ago

    Quite eye-catching. I’ve not really played with IR myself, but your photos are making it a very tempting prospect. The filter you’re using, is it an R72 IR filter that screws onto the lens filter thread, or something different ?

  • David Harris
