Images from US National Parks and NPS managed lands I visited over the past few years. Some are also examples of how far NPS reach extends beyond the most well known names. I put each camera and film stock in the photo captions.

I've shot a bit of E100 and even some Provia 100f, but this first time shooting Velvia was easily the most challenging for me. I look forward to trying it again, especially this fall.

I’m a bit late to sharing this set, a short series taken on 35mm film.

A few weeks ago I shared some digital false color infrared photos I took at Manassas National Battlefield Park. Since I use film about 75% of the time, I also wanted to try B&W infrared film. These were taken along side the previous set of photos.

Everything except the last shot was on a tripod. I tried to hand hold the last one but I wasn't stable enough with the added filter compensation. Not as noticeable scaled down for the web, but it's a bit blurry.

I recently started experimenting with digital IR photography, but as someone who shoots film about 75% of the time, I wanted to try B&W IR film as well. I couldn’t find any info on using the Makina 67 for IR, but decided to test it. The camera did great, but I learned that b&w IR is more challenging than regular b&w which I personally find difficult already.

Shortly after shooting false color infrared for the first time on my modified Canon G1X, I ordered the IR Chrome filter from Kolari. A series of captures taken at Great Falls and Shenandoah National Parks.

I recently shot IR B&W film for the first time. I couldn't find any info on using the Makina 67 for IR but decided to give it a try. While I didn't shoot anything smaller than f11, the fixed lens doesn't seem to have any hotspot issues to that point.

Everything except the last shot was on a tripod. I tried to hand hold the last one but I wasn't stable enough. Not as noticeable scaled down for the web, but it's definitely blurry.

I visited Manassas National Battlefield Park for the first time this past winter shortly after the snowcrete storm that covered the entire area. I shot mostly film and enjoyed every minute of photographing clean isolated scenes despite the single digit temps and brutal wind. I recently returned on a day that couldn't have more opposite weather to capture it with a digital infrared camera.

I don't often shoot experimental film stocks, but lately I've felt the need to break routine and part of that led me to try Harman Switch Azure. Since it's a false color film and I recently started shooting some IR as well, I took the scans and tried flipping the hue 180 degrees.

Here are some captures along with a couple of the flipped versions for comparison.

I recently started experimenting with infrared photography. Here are some of my first false color infrared photos taken around the National Mall in DC the weekend before last.

I recently became interested in experimenting with infrared photography and a couple people I know recommended Kolari as a place to start. I was about to get one of their affordable point and shoot cameras when I remembered we had an old Canon G1X that was sitting in a drawer for the past decade. I planned to have Kolari full spectrum mod it but after speaking with them they said it's one of the few that doesn't need a replacement filter so I did it myself.

Here are some of my first false color infrared photos taken around the National Mall in DC. I jumped in fast and there's a lot to learn about post processing these types of images, but overall I'm happy with the early results.

I've been meaning to post these for some time but never got around to it. Prices include shipping CONUS and PayPal G&S. Not interested in trade at this time.

Focal Bathys - $375
- Good condition, original owner. These don't get much use so I figured it's time to let them go.

Sennheiser HDB 630 - $400
- Like new. I was excited to try these when they released so I bought at launch. Listened to them for about 2 hours and they've been in the case since. It wasn't the sound, I guess I just didn't have much use for them.

Doing some late spring cleaning and selling stuff that doesn't get enough use. All prices are shipped CONUS with PayPal G&S.

Sigma 17 f4 L-mount - $350
- Mint condition. I bought it for a trip last fall but didn't end up needing it. Used twice.

Viltrox 13 f1.4 XF Fuji X-mount - $250
- Great condition. I've had it for a few years but its use was mostly limited to astro which I don't shoot all that often.

Leica Visoflex 2 - $550
- Great condition. Thought I'd get more use out of this, but I don't shoot shallow or long enough to need it most of the time.

7Artisans 60 f2.8 II Fuji X-mount - $110
- Great condition. Used for film scanning with my Fuji system. I moved to full frame for scanning after a few months so it didn't get used after that.

TTArtisan 25 f2 Fuji X-mount - $45
- Like new. Not sure why I picked this up, I think I wanted to use it for streaming with the X-S20.

Laowa 85 f5.6 2x Macro M-mount - $350
- Great condition. Used this for film scanning for a while with an M11 before deciding to go L-mount. Worked well for this use case.

Kamlan 28 f1.4 Fuji X-mount - $50
- Good condition. Inexpensive manual focus lens with some character. I used this occasionally for video.
