Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography - Blueberry bushes

These fruit producing plants really shine in the light. In visual light they are a powder blue to green color. But in infrared and ultraviolet they are a bright white.

The branches are reaching out over the planter boxes built for them to keep them safe.

They are growing about a foot a year, and glad my neihbor has blueberries as well so they can cross pollinate.

Leaves will drop again in the fall after turning a fire red, I love the color of blueberry leaves in the fall.

The bamboo stake in the ground they used to need to stay up straight. With the weight of the berries they tend to bend over at their young age.

Looking forward to many more years of growth and berry production. People seem suprised I grow blueberries in Georgia. I guess its assumed its more of a cold region crop.

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.
