Infrared Photography - Sprouting vegetables
I did not know I could get my food scraps to grow. I took cut radish tops, carrot tops and garlic and placed them in some water. Within days little leaves were coming from the radish and within a week roots were coming out from the garlic.

Its still a few weeks till i am comfortable planting them. So I am sure they will get bigger, though I find it strange the radish have not formed roots yet.
Heres a piece of garlic, with roots coming out the bottom. It seemly absorbed water, became more coned shaped and then made some roots.

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.

@shuvo35 they are garlic and raddish. Just in infrared

That's neat. Lets see how big these guys can get....:"-)
@manorvillemike the raddish got a little bigger and then started turning yellow. But the garlic and carrots continue to grow.
