Infrared Photography - Pile of rocks on the Pinhoti Trail
This site had a cluster of rocks placed in a pile at one point on the trail. My friend @ryulincoln told me that its a tradition to bring a rock up the trail and leave it on the pile to make it bigger. I found a rock and placed it on the pile to add my own piece of involvement to history.
These photos are my posts for #bouldersunday

@ryulincoln joined me on this hike and we walk down the trail as it winds through the forest.
Many large trees along the trail, the nature was quite established here.
My friend walks in front, a dead tree can be seen on the left side of the trail.
Some plants were trying to grow out of the pile of rocks. A seed must have gotten down inside the pile and sprouted.

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.

Gorgeous photography @solominer! Such a nice boulder pile, I'm trying
to figure out which rock you placed among the stacked stones!?
That real big one to the right, the pointed one towards the top, or that
roundish one in the middle? Oh and look at that beautiful tree shadow
on the path! Love your unique photography!
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome place! :-)
@shasta I dont remember which one i placed honestly. But i do remember ants all over the place. So trying to find a loose rock without ants on it was hard. I found one though and placed it on the side of the pile I think.
Glad you liked them, it was quite an adventure there.
Ya know I didnt notice the shadow till now.. very cool
Nice my friend @solominer how are you?

@sketch.and.jam it sure is an interesting idea. To carry rocks up a trail to add to the past hikers rocks. Hehe one day it should be.. it's already 6 feet tall.

Love your uniquely photographed Boulder pile! It is an interesting tradition to add one more rock to the pile.
@melinda010100 thanks alot, I hear alot of people on the AT do this. I read up on it a little after getting home.
