Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography - Boulders out in the creek

in #bouldersunday5 years ago

I have visited many creeks and rivers living in Georgia, though I almost always enjoy visiting new ones. Theres a certain smell down by the water that is unique, like it recently rained. And the sound of the rushing water is amazing, you can feel the energy of the water as you approach.

These are my posts for #bouldersunday

A few trees managed to grow pretty tall out on the water. I have a feeling a major rain would take them out though.

Large stones and boulders were all over the body of water. The geologist taking us on the tour told us this location is quite unique.

It was a sunny day with almost no clouds. Sunlight was coming down making everything quite bright.

I was hoping to see some fish jump out of the water though I did not get to see any unfortently.

Trees were growing all along the water line, giving the whole area a bright color to the scene. All of them were reflecting infrared light back at my camera giving them that unique texture and color.

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.
