I came across a tree stump with its roots just hanging in the air. It appears where once stood soil is now just open space. Probably due to the creek next to it. I have heard stories of water levels surging to very high levels all along Georgia. So its possible during a heavy flood the soil around the roots got washed away. But the tree still stands.

 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 1/50 sec  Film Speed 200  Spectrum Infrared (IR)  Wavelength 720 nanometers  Location Wildcat Creek Campground, Georgia USA.

The crown of the tree had many holes in it. And along one of its roots there was a Violet plant growing out of a crease in the roots of the tree.

Ive seen Ferns grow on the side of tree roots and such but never a Violet plant. It looked quite happy with the setup. Growing along the channel in the roots of the tree.

I also came across a plant eaten up by bugs, you could see right through the leaf. I placed my hand underneath to show that.

I wonder what insect caused this, seems it stopped eating it before the leaf collapsed. And the plant seems to be doing okay, even missing almost half of its tissue.

A twisty tree growing up into the canopy, with a bunch of wood loving mushrooms growing on its bark. The infrared sky can be seen peaking through the tree canopy. A yellow color contrasting on the white leaves reflecting the infrared light back.

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.
