Xpuhil II - a photo on Flickriver

Xpuhil II

This is the first in a series of infrared images of Mayan ruins in Yucatan and Campeche, shot on a trip there in February. If you want to see more of the images, take a look at my Mexico album or my Infrared album.

This series consists entirely of images taken with a converted infrared camera – a camera that has been altered so that it can read and record infrared light. When I first visited Mexico in December 2014 to visit these ruins, I found it really tough to capture good images of these amazing places. The conditions are pretty hard – often you’re photographing in the in the harshest of light (sometimes with the sun right in your face), in the jungle where the light is dappled. On that trip, I tried a few shots with an infrared filter on my regular camera and was intrigued with the results. Not only did the infrared deal pretty well with the lighting conditions, it created a dreamy other-worldly look that perfectly reflected the wonder and awe I felt seeing these ruins hidden away in the jungle. So, before this trip, I had a camera converted to infrared with the intention of creating a series of IR images of the ruins. This is the series.
