Infrared Photography - Akebia flowers opening

in #monochromemonday5 years ago (edited)

The vine these flowers grow on is quite vigorous, I have been quite surprised how it tried to spread with its runners along the ground. Almost looking like little snakes coming out of the plant.

But the petals are like satin and look completely harmless with a soft appearance to them. These pictures were taken in the 750 nm infrared spectrum, so they come out without color.

Its flowers though are a different story, they are small, delicate and have a mild scent to them.

Sometimes this vine flowers a second time in the fall, and if it had two Akebia plants near by it would produce fruit.

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.
