Description
No ... this is not a snow covered tree. This is a false color 21st Century infrared photograph (IR) of a rugged oak tree on an overlook near Bastrop,Texas in the spring time when the leaves are just beginning to be put out.
Bastrop is a town and the county seat of Bastrop County, Texas, United States. Located about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Austin, it is part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area. The population was 7,218 according to the 2010 census.
Infrared Photography is an interpretation of what we think is reality. The function of Infrared Photography (like Black and White Photography) is not to render the world as we see it, but rather to use light, dark and false color to enhance texture and composition. The invisible infrared light has a profound influence on the texture of the sky and clouds that is not seen in visible light photography. Since young green (chlorophyll abundant) leaves are an excellent, uniform reflector of Infrared light they come out white in the infrared spectrum.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt about this image fitting that bill. Do consider entry in a juried exhibition. CONGRATULATIONS!
