Full Spectrum Style Transfer Art - Leatherleaf
This plant is similar to a holly bush, though its known as a Mahonia. They grow wild in the area and produce flowers when other plants are dormant, being an evergreen it is able to do this. I took a full spectrum photo along with an infrared photo and used a neural network to combine the pictures.
In the full spectrum photo, yellow vanes can be seen going through the leaves. Though in the rendered photo we get it placed throughout the leaf, including the stem which was red otherwise.
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. As in this case where it places the vane colors throughout the leaf and ignores the red stem.
I find it interesting seeing what it makes, like some would find a toddler using a coloring book. The algorithm gets alot that we adult humans have learned. But other things we take for granted and machine learning has a long way to go in some cases.

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
It have freckles! :D
@blacklux
Thats fungus growing on the leaf, its hard to see in the full spectrum photo but appears as black spots in infrared. Cool how the render kept those details in the final image.. thanks alot for the resteem!
That's a cool effect! Mahonia is the state plant of Oregon. We call it Oregon Grape. It's everywhere!
@goat-girlz
Oh did not know that, I discovered these plants when I moved to Georgia. Thats sweet it grows in Oregon too.
From what ive read Jelly can be made of them when they really ripen up well. I may collect some and try.
Oh, please do! I would love to see a post about it. I make so much jam every year that I'll let you try this one first and report back before I go schlepping through the woods! If it's super yummy I will have to try it.

Very cool image
@momzillanc thanks much

Been looking at some of your infrared shot posts love what your doing with it it’s something I have considering doing getting one of my older cameras converted or buying one already converted, i guess i need to star doing some research
@tattoodjay oh cool, life pixel did the modification to my camera. I suggest sending a camera that allows you to adjust the white balance on the camera as your colors will change due to the mods. I find trying to change post proc alot harder when the WB is way off. I use a grey card to set my white balence profiles to different filters I use.

Thanks I am pretty sure the 6300 can do that but I willcheck when I get it next time I visit the family my daughter in law has it now but if I do it I will give her my 6500 I know she won’t mind the upgrade
Thanks for the advise
