Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography - Open skies by the Dam

Ah yea, I agree. It has to do with the chlorophyll in the plants. They reflect back the infrared so the plant does not dry out. Absorbing every color but green, hence why we see them as green.

Since they reflect back the infrared its super bright looking.

You really know your stuff, @solominer :) Thank you so much for explaining that in more detail - I didn't know that.

So you have a specialized camera for this photography? Did you have it customized?

@youhavewings

Ah yeah it makes you look at plants differently knowing that, thank you I read alot online. I think my partner @activate.alpha taught me that about why plants are green.

Yes its customized, I bought it used from a friend as an ordinary camera and then sent it to LifePixel in Washington to have it converted to a full spectrum camera.

I'm going to look into that, @solominer I would have so much fun with this - whole new world to view.

@youhavewings

Cool, it can take up to a month to get it back in my experience after shipping it to them. I hear kolari vision is pretty good too if they are closer to you.

Yep, it does open up a whole new world.

Thank you so much for the suggestions and tips!
