Selective Color Infrared Photography Single - Blueberry flower and branch

in photography •  6 years ago  (edited)

I took a few pictures of my blueberry plants using a tripod. Switching between filters I captured different wavelengths and then used GIMP to merge them and bring out color in the details I wanted to use. Gives the scene a unique look with the infrared to the right of the image and the full spectrum to the left. Having fun with #selectivecolor and trying out new ways of coloring in my infrared photos.

Just the infrared photo, looks great but I think selectively bringing out colors adds a unique look to them pictures. This was shortly before the blueberry flowers were ready, now I have blueberries growing quite nicely outside thanks to my mason bees.

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.

Addresses below to help me buy better camera equipment and support me to travel to locations to do photo and video and overall great blogs in new places. I would be happy to list some of the contributors in my posts for donations that help me along the way.

hehehehe amazing what we can do with all those filters now! a photo is not just a photo - its a work of art :)

@dreemsteem One day I hope to own more, though the ones I want cost hundreds of dollars. So ill need to wait for right now.
