My Blue Heaven

I am getting ready to start a personal photo project. My goal is to take, and publish 1 IR photo a day for the next year.

In order to do this, I have had to make some changes in the hear that I carry with me everyday.  Normally I carry my D200 with the Nikon 18-200 lens. It went everywhere with me.

Now that I will be carrying my Nikon D70sIR camera every day, it would simply be too much to carry the D200 also.  This is where my new Panasonic LX-3 comes to the rescue.

My new daily carry bag will be the Panasonic LX-3 and the Nikon D70sIR.  I will also have the odds and ends that every camera bag tends to have in it.

Today was my first day carrying that bag around.  Today, and the rest of this week, will pretty much be a test to see if this bag setup and gear will fit my daily needs.

I am really looking forward to starting this project, and depending on how it goes, I might think about turning this into a photo book.

This started as a 9 shot panorama of Tucson with the Catalina Mountains in the background. This version, edited down quite a bit from the original, most likely has elements of 3 or possibly 4 different images.

This was taken with my Nikon D70sIR and post processed in Photoshop. I am getting ready to start a 356 day project and I am about 90% sure that this project will be 365 IR shots.
