Break Time
I was early for a prenuptial session shoot with one of my photo mentors when walking around and shooting some images for infrared photography came to mind to put valuable time into good use. Knowing I would have to come back to be in time for the pre-nuptial session, I decided to use an ‘infrared digital camera’ owned and self-converted by another mentor.
The next half-hour was not put to a waste but proved to be very productive instead . I clicked a few shots until I came to a certain spot. It was just a few minutes past mid-noon and the light was perfect for infrared photography. There was one particular image I loved.
The colors of the foliage were outstanding due to the heat and the light of the midday sun. I was very happy with the outcome but I know there might be a way to improve it.

I had enough and started walking back to the assembly for the afternoon photo session.
We spent almost an hour and a half shooting the engagement session when we past by the same spot where I was shooting for infrared previously! The light was not that bright and it was almost three in the afternoon. However, I noticed that there was this tractor beneath one of the trees. I immediately grabbed the converted camera again and got a frame.
The colors were not very striking but I suppose this second shot of the same place might be more effective with the tractor. Upon arriving home later, I started processing the images and indeed, the second image with a tractor proved to be more appealing, at least for me.

More often than not, you need to go back to a certain place several times (for some, in a span of months or years) until you get the shot you need.
