Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography Single - Pine tree full of cones with wispy sky

in #colorchallenge5 years ago (edited)

While traveling to Sweetwater Lake State Park I saw an open field surrounded by trees. The pine tree to the left was full of cones and can be seen as black dots on the tree. Those cones do not reflect sunlight so they appear as black dots. I wonder why they do that, maybe by letting infrared and ultraviolet be absorbed by the pine cone it dries it out and lets the cone form into a fully developed seed pod. Just a guess, but it is interesting to see such a difference from the pine needles and the cones in Ultraviolet and Infrared.

The sky was filled with little clouds and gave the Ultraviolet sky a look as if it was slightly painted.

This single is my post for #colorchallenge

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.

Strange the pine trees around here have much more coverage and fewer pine cones.

@mytechtrail probably a different kind of pine where you live.. We have alot of loplolly pines and they are considered bad, so hopefully you have the nicer ones.
