Full Spectrum Photography - Mason Bees resting part 1
I see these little bees resting on places all around their homes. Maybe by not flying all the time, birds have trouble spotting them. When they rest they make for some great photography. Though usually they fly away before I can get close enough.
Resting on my solar panel gave me a special feeling, as if it was saying thank you.. Maybe I was looking into it too far.

Two bees resting close to each other, one in focus and other out of focus.
A close up of one resting on the ledge of a hand rail. And a Japanese Ariela leaf next to the bee, helps to understand the scale of the bee. They are very small.

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.
