Infrared Photography - Pine cones hanging over lake
Pine cones to have interesting properties when seen in IR. They do not reflect light, but adsorb it instead. Giving them a dark shade. The pine needles are evergreen and do reflect the sunlight making them appear white.
I do not know why pine cones adsorb light, a mystery for the moment.
These photos are my posts for #trippythursday

Location | Fort Mountain State Park, Georgia USA. |
The Pine tree hangs over the water, a large lake with trails surrounding it.
As the morning sun came up it cast light on the tall trees by the lake.
A single wispy cloud in this part of the sky, though in the other direction there were thunderstorms brewing.
It was slightly breezy and making little ripples on the water, the trees in full sunlight were reflecting on the lakes surface.

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.

Want to have your post on the map too?
Maybe because their composition is different than leaves or maybe because leaves absorb more chlorophyll?
@blacklux I think you are correct. It was probably due to the fruit going to drop which are the pinecones it probably does not plan on needing energy from them.

Superb black and white images @solominer I can't explain the light reflection mystery but I can certainly admire what you have produced with your camera. 😊
@trudeehunter thanks alot yeah these photos tend to make more questions than I have answers sometimes. Glad you liked them.
