Snake Creek Gap Overlook - Full Spectrum Photography

By Solominer | Solominer | 20 Dec 2019


My friend and I reached the peak of one of the mountains on this trail. And had a chance to see down the hills through the tree line. Before I started taking infrared and ultraviolet photos I took some full spectrum shots without any screw on filters attached.

With the clouds overhead, large shadows were being cast on the rolling hills giving them a patchy look.

We were pretty far into the woods, so the air was very clean and fresh. I think it made for a more clear sky for photography as well.

There were alot of pine trees around, had to pretty much hold the camera over my head for these shots...lol

It was early afternoon and getting pretty hot without any cover. But since we were up in the mountains it was a few degrees cooler than down hill.

A nice day to walk the trails and get some nice blue sky shots. We must walk back through the forest and under the tree canopies for about an hour to reach the trailhead parking lot.

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.

I am a user of cryptocurrency and also run infrastructure for multiple Coins and Dapps. I write about my experience with blockchain tech and nature. On the side I use a full spectrum camera to take unique photos in the Infrared and Ultraviolet spectrums.
