Selfie on the bridge - Infrared Photography

in portraitphotography •  5 years ago 

While walking the bridge across the creek the sun came out and I figured this would be good moment to try to take some selfies using my infrared filters. I like how my eyes and skin look. Some think it looks ghostly, or ethereal. It does have an interesting look. In the photos you can see the water below, it reflects the sky in one of them which came out interesting to me.

These photos are my posts for #portraitphotography

I just got my mullet trimmed up nicely, and growing out my beard. Great time to take some selfies.

The bridge I was on was an interesting structure. I shared a post about it awhile back, its made of tree lights for its main support. The water below reflecting the sky, giving it a golden color due to me using a 720nm filter.

It was a nice day out on the trail, the morning it was cool and had a nice breeze going on. The trees provided cover from the sun as it came out. But I did find some sunny spots to take photos in.

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.

I hate taking selfies. When I accidentally use the front facing camera I feel like Jaba the hut! PS. Use the photo tag as well to earn PHOTO tokens. @untersatz curate 50
