Infrared Photography - Cacti and Succulent Pot
Since I traveled to a garden with alot of cactus and succulents Ive wanted to return with my special camera. Recently we got a pot filled with different cactus and succulents. We keep it indoors due to the weather, the jade and other plants are not cold hardy.
Camera Model | Lumix GH3, modified by LifePixel for Full Spectrum |
---|---|
Lens | Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm-50mm |
Filter | 720nm Infrared Passthrough filter |
Aperture | f/3.5 |
Shutter Speed | 1/250 sec |
Film Speed | 800 |
Spectrum | Infrared (IR) |
Wavelength | 720 nanometers |
Location | North Georgia USA. |
These plants are familiar to me though I dont know all their names, besides the Jade plant ive had a couple in my garden at a former home.
The small succulent has a really unique appearance in infrared. Its baby blue but in this wavelength you cannot see its colors.
The Jade was doing very well, and its probably going to be the biggest plant in the pot I am guessing. I hope to take more photos of this pot, and maybe one day I will take a trip to Cyprus and I can visit @ludmila.kyriakou's garden and get some great photos of cactus and succulents. As there are just not too many in Georgia.

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.
