Mounts Botanical Gardens in West Palm Beach

Palm Beach County’s oldest and largest public garden, Mounts displays tropical and subtropical plants from around the world, including plants native to Florida, exotic trees, tropical fruit, herbs, citrus, palms and more. For those of us who might be photographically minded, it provides an idyllic, serene environment with much to ponder and capture. The image presented was shot with a dedicated Canon EOS Rebel T2i infrared camera, EFS 15-85mm lens and Manfrotto tripod. This technique manifests an other-worldly effect and can be best shot around noon to fully take advantage of the sun’s infrared rays.
