Outback
The calendar
Because I’m married to a cartographer, and worked in the survey/engineering/mapping industries for many years, images like this have always interested me. Somewhere in outback NSW on a flight from Brisbane to Adelaide. Out near Maude, I think.
Shot with an infrared digital camera, and treated to look like Kodak Tri-X 400TX Pro.
Outback belongs to the following groups:
Bird's Eye View, Black & White Photographers Showcase, Friends of RedBubble, Infrared Photography, Nerds Unite and Riginals Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Maps and aerial images are among my favorites also. Many interesting lines and geometry down there. IR seems perfect for this.

Such complex patterns and eye capturing tones. What a great find, Mel. Awesome!
Rachel Davison
This is just beautiful – I think the scientific aspect gives something to the image – it feels pure and unselfconscious in its beauty. Would love to see it in colour too.
