Infrared Photography – The water trail
This road, maybe wide enough to fit a small car on is very old. Its been used to collect water for many years, and trees have stopped growing along this path, but line the forest where people are not traveling.

The rolling hills can be seen in almost every direction. Almost resembling sand dunes but made of dirt and trees instead of sand.
That fallen tree collapsed and is slowing being broken back down into the soil. When it drops it should speed up the process.
Some little pines can be seen growing along the trail, as large trees like seen previously fall they make room for new trees to grow in their place.
Looking down the water trail, I am thankful I have running water at my home. Back in the day, not so long ago. We would go down a hill about a football field long to collect water and bring it back home. Im sure it was very heavy, and when snow and ice happened that was not fun at all.
I take pictures with a special camera. Its a Mirrorless DSLR that has been modified by Life Pixel to see light in other wavelengths. This allows my camera to see light in the Infrared [IR] around 1300 NM wavelength, through the visual spectrum and into the Ultraviolet A and B wavelengths roughly into the 300 NM wavelength.
I carry many filters on me to make the photos you see in my blog, these filters screw on my lens and help me isolate certain wavelengths for certain scenes. These filters can be IR / UV pass-through filters to assist me get a natural photo taking out the UV and IR light. Or I may use a Infrared pass-through filter capture just IR light. I can do the same with UV light as well, though I need some better filters which they can cost a few hundred dollars for true Ultraviolet pass through filters. So for right now I have B + W 403 bandpass filters that still allow some IR light in, due to their cheaper material.
There are also exotic glasses made of sapphire and germanium I am open to working with to replace my silica glass hot mirror with a material that allows even longer wavelengths of infrared to enter my cameras sensor. Special sensors, lenses and filters of that material would be needed as well, so it would be a big project but one that may give some even more unique photography results.
Addresses below to help me buy better camera equipment and support me to travel to locations to do photo and video and overall great blogs in new places. I would be happy to list some of the contributors in my posts for donations that help me along the way.
