The Huntington's East Asian Gardens in Infrared.
I returned to The Huntington with my infrared and visual cameras to capture some of the expanded Chinese garden in infrared. I had hoped for a bit more cloud cover since that makes for more interesting IR shots, but since tickets must be selected ahead of time that's not always possible. I started off in the older portion of the Chinese garden and moved to the northern expansion. I then moved up the hill at the western side of the expanded garden and was fortunate to have little haze in the sky for a clear view of the San Gabriels. I ventured over to the Japanese garden to get a few shots there. Generally I don't like the Japanese garden for infrared due to too much foliage, but a good composition can be had by the little pond.
