The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week is Symmetry. I decided to focus on the form of cactus in my garden by showing them in infrared. It highlights their prickly symmetry well.

You are so talented, artistic and clever. Love today's offering.
Glad you liked my cactus photos, Suzy!
Really interesting use of infrared. You're right. It does highlight the prickly symmetry. Did you use a special infrared camera?
Thanks! No, I selected infrared with my photo editing software. I use Corel PaintShop Pro.
Interesting. Thanks.
Infrared works really well creating great contrast, delineation and highlights.
Yes, it does. I used it occasionally years ago with a traditional camera. You had to be very careful developing it in the darkroom so the film didn't get exposed to light. Much easier now!
