Shadow and light engage in their eternal dialogue across a sun-drenched paddock at Keeneland, where a single tree frames the composition with sculptural grace. The infrared process transforms the tree's summer foliage into a luminous crown of brilliant white, while its shadow stretches long across the ground, creating a study in contrasts that speaks to both presence and absence.
Black board fencing traces rhythmic lines through the composition, leading the eye toward distant barns barely visible through the atmospheric haze. The infrared spectrum reveals what the human eye cannot see, rendering chlorophyll as incandescent light and transforming a familiar Kentucky summer scene into something otherworldly.
This is the magic of infrared photography, capturing the hidden energy of living vegetation at the height of the growing season, where what appears as pristine white is actually the vigorous photosynthetic activity of midsummer leaves revealed through invisible wavelengths.
