Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography - Trees across the reflective water

in colorchallenge •  5 years ago 

Walking down to the water, it was just me and the river. It had a nice flow to it but nothing too strong. I could see cows in a pasture across the river and hear them moo once in awhile.

Even the ultraviolet sky will cast a blue color on the water. In visual light its a murky green color on the river.

The river was flowing quite nicely, it added ripples to the water and I am glad they came out in the images.

I did not see any boats pass by, just the cows in the pasture across the water were the only other life I came across. I heard alot of life but did not see all that much.

The levels of this river change drastically, glad I was able to walk up to the bank. As sometimes its underwater.

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.

These are fantastic! I love the reflections in the water. I have a thing for reflections. Is it the special camera that makes the sky look so blue in these?

Me too, its fun to play with the reflections in photography. Yup its a special camera capable of seeing ultraviolet and other wavelengths of light. The sky is that color due to the UV in the atmosphere.

I've seen a bunch of your UV pictures and I love the blue and white thing it does.
