Mason Bee Single - Shadow Photo Contest - Show me a shadow
In March there were many Mason Bees flying all over the property. Some would land on the side of the house, maybe to warm up as it was still pretty chilly in March.
The sun and the bee were in the right position at the right time and I captured its wing pattern in the light. You can see the structure of the wings in the shadow. Along with the Mason Bees long antennae making a shadow as well. Ive been saving this photo for the right #shadowphoto subject, hoping this one fits well as its "Show me a shadow".

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.
