Full Spectrum Style Transfer Art - Blueberry branch with flowers
The bell shaped flowers and leaves of this plant have a satin white appearance in infrared. Though in the full spectrum light its more of a pinkish white. I use GPU rendering along with conventional neural network, to create an interpretation of the two images merging together.
These photos are my posts for #trippythursday

Going back to my office I use a technique called neural style transfer to transform my infrared content images into stylized full spectrum photos. Though things do not always go as planned, as the imagenet seems to choose strange ways to stylize.

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.

thanks @nevlu123 for the animation
What a beautiful image!
@melinda010100 thank you, the rendering done sure gives interesting results. I plan to make a how to guide on doing this kind of renders in the future.

Do you know other people who have the kind of equipment that you have for this kind of photography?
@melinda010100 Ive seen a few like @vander and some others ive seen checking the infrared tag but not many.. Just half a dozen or so poeple it seems on Steem doing UV and IR photography. Though I have not seen anyone do style transfer rendering like im doing with my infrared and ultraviolet photos.

It does seem like a niche speciality! I love seeing your work!

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
@melinda010100 thanks alot.. it's been alot of fun doing the photography.

That's not a flower, that's a pom pom!
@blacklux hah it does kinda look like that.

Yes, I would enjoy a how to post. Are any of your tools open source and did you have to pay for any of them?
Posted using Partiko Android
@mytechtrail they are all open source at no cost, will do! Im planning on writing a guide.
