Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography - Streams along Sweetwater Creek

in photography •  5 years ago 

The water is diverted at one point on the creek to move water to where the New Manchester Mill stands. Though its no longer used water still flows down the man made canals.

People were across the Creek, looks like an adult and young child playing along the banks.

Further down the stream logs can be found along the side of the banks. Not sure if Beavers did that or some other animals.. Maybe humans.

Crossing a bridge over one of the streams, all well cared for and well built.

Looking up through the tree tops, the ultraviolet light comes through and gives the trees a bright white color on their leaves.

Along the banks, ferns were growing along with other small creeping plants.

Bubbles coming up on the water, maybe turtles in the water or swirls causing bubbles to form.

A tree fell next to the bridge but luckily did not hit it, I was not there when it fell but looks like a medium sized tree. It almost spans the bridge.

Looking down from the bridge the horizontal tree can be seen. And the running water below. It was a nice visit and hope to check out more in the future.

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.
