Log Bridge across the creek - Infrared Photography

in photography •  5 years ago 

A mile into the forest or so I came across a wood bridge. But large logs were used for supports, probably trees from the surrounding area. It had a wire mesh on the sides and mostly built with 2x4s and 4x4s.

After crossing the bridge I went to one side to get a picture showing it spanning across the creek. I wonder when it was built, I did not see any signs of dating on it.

Looks like a foundation was build using 4x4s or also known as rail road ties. Alot of the wood was decaying but not the supports yet.

The bridge had quite the bow to it, could be seen in the next two photos. Though it felt okay while crossing it, I wouldnt want to jump on it or even run across it.

A cool bridge out on the trail in the Wildcat Creek Campground, good to see engineering out in the forest.

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.

That's a super cool bridge. I might not jump on it either though. I love the log supports!

@goat-girlz it was pretty cool. Hah yeah and who know if theres a insect nest underneath.. would hate to have to run away from them cause I jumped and shook them up.
