Going digital I converted a Fujifilm XPro-1 to infrared with a 720nm filter. It was not an easy process to make the conversion but was a lot of fun.
Infrared can convert familiar places in something new and stimulate the brain to get out of the habits and see in a different way.

In this book, Boves, the little Italian town where I live seen in Infrared!

In this week print I wonder why we moved from complex form of compositions to the banality of a “mandatory” rule of thirds… and I wonder also about some other things… It’s a long ranting, you are advised! lol

Best part of the vacation was to see that people are having enough of all the stupidity of the Italian government and the Covid BS used to enslave us. That was really positive!

Stay well, until the next time!
