I’ve always wanted to take an infrared photo of one of Baguio City’s many tourist attractions. These places have already been photographed endlessly since the Americans converted this mountainous region into a city. But I have seen only a few instances when they were taken using infrared light.

It is painstakingly cumbersome to take a single infrared image. One has to set up a tripod, screw in an IR Filter, set the correct white balance and calculate the exposure time before pressing the shutter button.

Up to now, I’m still unsure if the photos I took during those sessions are any good until I process the raw file in Photoshop.

I’m lucky this one from Baguio’s iconic Wright Park turned out pretty well.
