Infrared Photography - Calm waters before the rapids

in #colorchallenge5 years ago (edited)

Walking down the trail to the river, the water was quite calm for the most part. As I got closer to the rapids I could hear them first. Before I got next to the rapids on the trail I took some pictures of the difference in water appearance before the rapids and what can be seen of the start of the rapids.

These photos are my posts for #colorchallenge

The trees hanging over the water can be seen across the creek, the trees wanting that sunlight.

Though they are small rapids, id be worried about passing them on the canoe. Rather have calm waters to traverse.

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.
