Plants growing under tree canopies - Infrared Photography
When we hike in higher elevations we come across Cedar trees and other trees that prefer a high altitude. This Cedar sapling is growing in a patch of sunlight coming through the dense tree canopies. Its shining bright due to it reflecting the infrared light making it appear bright white to my modified camera.

Many plants growing at the base of the forest, the tree canopy blocking most light but enough comes through for other smaller plants to grow on the forest floor.
This tree has been taken over by Lichen, looks like the tree died awhile back and now other lifeforms have moved in. Cool to see the Lichen reflecting infrared light as well.
One of the bridges on the campground, I wonder how high the water gets when the creek floods. At the time it was only a few inches high.
My friend checking out a leaf, against his white shirt its almost invisible. Loving the plant life behind him, appearing bright white due to the healthy plants reflecting green and infrared light.

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.
