Wildcat Creek Campground - Infrared Photography
I usually walk the trails of wildlife management areas, but this time around I walked through the campsite. It was pretty basic and a little torn down. But I really enjoy the trails surrounding this location so thats alright.
 Camera Model | Lumix GH3, modified by LifePixel for Full Spectrum |
|---|---|
 Lens | Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm-50mm |
 Filter | 720nm Infrared Passthrough filter |
 Aperture | f/3.5 |
 Shutter Speed | 1/320 sec |
 Film Speed | 200 |
 Spectrum | Infrared (IR) |
 Wavelength | 720 nanometers |
 Location | Wildcat Creek Campground, Georgia USA. |
One of the picnic tables was collapsed, not sure what happened to it. Maybe rusty bolts or someone doing something crazy with it.
A Bear proof trash can, good idea as we have seen signs of Bear in the area.
There was strict rules on where to camp, and the sites were very close together. Id rather walk the trail for a mile or two and camp far out.
Luckily the campsites had roads going right up to them, so if someone brought alot maybe its better for them to stick to these sites.

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.

Looks like a very nice place to say, even if it’s a little run down. Will you be doing any camping this fall?

@balticbadger it's an okay spot, I've found better in my travels. Yeah I plan on going out to Alabama in a few months and visit @makinstuff's property. We are planning on doing some Deer hunting for a few days.
I may camp before then but really looking forward to the Alabama trip.

Gives a very different feel using infrared filter, nice defining leaves almost a snowflake moment @solominer
@joanstewart sure does, I'm glad I invested in the filters as it really shows off some cool results. Yeah the leaves look like that due to them reflecting infrared light off the plant. It's a protection method for the plant to stop it from drying out. Thanks alot for the comment.
