Ferns growing along the trail - Infrared Photography

I enjoy seeing patches of Ferns, something about them under the tree canopies seemingly happy as they can get. These Ferns were growing in a patch a few yards long.

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	1/160 sec
Film Speed	200
Spectrum	Infrared (IR)
Wavelength	720 nanometers
Location	Wildcat Creek Campground, Georgia USA.

Where the Ferns were growing it was just them, seemingly to dominate the landscape where it grows.

Though where the walking trail started the Ferns stopped, I guess getting walked on all the time stops their growth. I wonder how quick they would fill in if people stopped walking through this trail. Maybe a month im guessing it would all fill in.

Even with the dense tree canopies, the sky could be seen through little patches above. The light coming through giving plants a filtered sunlight appearance.

Some areas of the trail the plants really want to take back the space. You got to be careful around these plants as ticks will hang off the sides and cling to whatever passes by. Ugh.. I hate it.

The creek was flowing along the trail, with the filtered sunlight coming through the tree canopy it gives the water a golden color.

A log that fell across the water, though was not blocking the flow. I think if I had to cross with a canoe or kayak it may be difficult.

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.
