UV/IR Monochrome Photography Single – Backpack hanging up in the woods
We set up in a outcropping of land, which gave me some wide lake views I could pan across. So I hung up my backpack on an old tree branch, took my camera out of its hard case seen on the ground. And got to taking pictures and video.
You can see many birds nests in the trees behind my backpack. Makes sense, this area is abundant with water life.
Something special about this photo, are the four trees all growing together to the right of my photo. Its interesting to see them all doing okay in one area. Maybe they all come from the same plant, like a crown under neigh the ground they are all coming out of.
This photo is my post for #monochromemonday
I converted an UV/IR photo to black and white, as the sky was pretty dark and did not look all that great with colors. I like how converting it to black and white just “fixes” that.

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.

@ludmila.kyriakou I did and then converted to black and white. Well if you mean using a digital camera, that.. a DSLR
