Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography – Walking around the park Part 1
It was the early morning, a few hours after sunrise. A storm was heading out of the area. All there was left were some stray clouds in from of the Ultraviolet cobalt blue cast sky. Even though the turf was dormant at this time of year it still had some reflective infrared abilities to the blades of grass.

The park has a circular trail about 1.5 miles long which is about 2.4 kilometers. The morning sun gave this marking a long shadow, much bigger than the actual marker itself.
This old tree has probably been here well before the park was built. It looks many decades old and I think this park is probably newer than that.
There is a piano outside of the restrooms at the park, available for anyone to play. Though I wonder if its in tune. I do not have the skills to test that, but it sure looks cool.
It appears it was part of a school project or something like that, as it was painted and has a nice look to it. Whoever painted it did a great job.
Lastly a picture facing the parking lot, cool vehicle photo in the Ultraviolet and Infrared spectrum.
Hope you enjoyed my walk in the park, I have part 2 coming soon.
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.

thanks @nevlu123 for the animation
I don't think the piano is tuned. I have seen a few around myself in Singapore. Once a while I see people played. They don't sound perfect but I have to think it's the piano and not the player. :-)
@ace108 I was afraid of that.. the changing temperatures and humidity would wreck havoc on the tuning.
Thanks alot for letting me know. I was not sure.

You're welcome. Just enjoy the music when it happens. 😎
@ace108 hah will do.

I love that they have a piano for all to play. And the painting on it is really nice too.
@nat-expressions yeah it was pretty cool to see. I only see them indoors.
