Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography - Open skies by the Dam

in photography •  6 years ago  (edited)

We stopped on the trail to set my white balance on my camera and while I was setting up my friend took a rest. When I was done I took a few test shots and found out I had a great scene in front of me.

This is my entry for #colorchallenge Skyblue Friday that is a photo contest hosted by @colorchallenge

This is a nice shot in any light.

@manorvillemike

Sure is, was late morning at this point. Though its hard to tell with these infrared and ultraviolet photos.

I love infrared photography - this is so cool. I forgot all about this other world until you shared.

@youhavewings

thank you, I agree its very cool. Its amazing how water reflects light differently, and plants have an icy glow to them. I hope to discover new things in these spectrum's, lll share them as I find them.

I've been intrigued by the way trees and plants look with this spectrum, but I've not discovered what this looks like with water! Oh, I must look into that. I hope I get to see the other posts you make.

@youhavewings

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.

Amazing photography
I like your picture @solominer

@santiintan

thanks, it was a really great one I think too. It was a good single to release. I have many others but I think ill do a series for those.

hermosa toma amigo me encanta el contacto con la naturaleza

@glorimarbolivar

It sure is beautiful, we saw fish jumping out of the water numerous times. Was super cool! The waters looked really clean too.

thanks for the comment!

That view is amazing.i wouldn’t want to leave.

@originalathena

me neither, but the sun was beating down on me by the end of the walk so it was good time to move on.

I try to spend 5-8 hours a day doing content creation. Video editing, photo editing, writing up posts and spreading love to my followers.

thanks for noticing, I am trying to post even more I hope to have over 10k posts in a year or two.

Awesome photo! Well done :)

@valth

thank you, I appreciate it. That structure off in the water made for a great focus point. And the water and sky in Ultraviolet is just amazing.
