Infrared Photography - Large boulder with tree growing on it

in #bouldersunday5 years ago

Walking down the trail at the Sweetwater Creek State Park I came across an interesting boulder perched on a bigger boulder. Along with a large tree growing out the side of the rock to the left of the image.

These photos are my posts for #bouldersunday

A little bit of a lens flare getting closer to the boulder, the overhead light causing my filter to get flared.

Glad to finally partake in the #bouldersunday tag, its been months since ive had a submission for that challenge. Though I rarely come across boulders around where I tend to explore, but when I find them I try to take pictures.

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.

I just love how the trees leaves look, your photography is so awesome
and different! Now this is a really cool looking boulder and tree together.
The sun's light across the stones is real beautiful and it looks like a
birds head there with eye and slight hole in the beak, perhaps three
faces going on depending how you look at this great boulder! :-)
Thank you @solominer for showing these wonderful photos!

@shasta yeah the forest always shines in infrared during the spring and summer. I had to stop and take some pictures, your right it is so unique. I see what you mean kinda does look like a birds head and eye.. cool! Did not notice that until you pointed it out.

glad to be part of #bouldersunday again, since ive been to Graves Mountain have not come across too many Boulders to photograph.
