Tybee Island Images in Black and White
For thousands of years before the Spanish settlers arrived in the 16th century, native Americans, the Euchee in particular, navigated the ocean waters around today's Tybee Island. Tybee is the Euchee word for "salt". In 1520, the Spanish took over the island and named it Los Bajos. Pirates roamed the island and today, Tybee Island celebrates the annual Tybee Pirate Festival, a rousing tribute to the plundering and marauding band of rogues.
Beachcombers flock to the island in the summertime where a long expanse of sandy beach awaits. There are two piers, the one in the photo below is on the ocean side and the back river pier. Very prominent stands Tybee Island Light, once a beacon for guiding mariners safe entrance into the Savannah river, and now a museum with five historic buildings situated on a five acre site. Up 178 stairs to the First Order Fresnel lens, one can view miles and miles ocean and surrounding scenery.

More Digital Infrared-Palms
 |
| Two Palms-Orlando, Florida
All photos were shot in RAW with a Canon D60 converted to digital infrared. All were converted to black and white using either Silver Efex or Topaz BW Effects. The beauty of digital infrared is the lovely whites of the normally green foliage. Palms are especially lovely to me, and I have many images which either include palms or palms are the main subject. I hope you enjoy these images.

South Harbor Marina, Skidaway Island-Lensbaby Images-Texture Tuesday
I love my Lensbaby lenses, but I don't use them as much as I should. One day this past summer, I attached the Composer optic to my DSLR, a simple lenses configured on a ball and socket design and set out on my walk down to our neighborhood marina. By tilting the lens at different angles, one can choose the "sweet spot" focus with a beautiful blur surrounding this small area of relative sharpness. Below are the fruits of my labor. All photos were processed in Rad Lab with various textures from Kim Klassen and Flypaper Textures. The top photo of the marina dock is my contribution to Texture Tuesday, the Dream eDition.

Savannah Scenes-Digital Infrared Photography
Several years ago, I had my Canon D60 converted to Digital Infrared using a company called LIfe Pixels. On their website is a wealth of information on what cameras can be converted, filter choices, tutorials and galleries of beautiful IR photography. I was fortunate to be able to take Better Photo Class from Deborah Sandidge, an expert on Digital IR and author of Digital Infrared Photography, the definitive book on the subject.
Shown here are a few of my favorites from around the Savannah, Georgia area where I now live. If you are interested in a different kind of photography, I suggest you check out the links in the above paragraph. Digital IR photography has opened up a new world for me.
