Infrared Photography - Lake drain at Fort Mountain State Park

in #colorchallenge5 years ago

As I was walking around the lake at one end I found a structure out on the water. I could not read what the writing said until I got closer and zoomed in. Appears to be an overflow drain for the lake.

These photos are my posts for #colorchallenge

I think as the water rises during rains the overflow falls into this drain and is moved elsewhere.

I wonder what happens if a duck or something falls in, if they come out the other side.

Its good theres rails up around it, I could see how it could be a danger if someone was kayaking too close to it.

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.

As always amazing shots and yes that does look like a drain of some kind

@tattoodjay appreicated... yeah I saw a video on YouTube of a duck falling into one.. I wonder if that duck was okay.

Posted using Partiko Android

Most welcome, and I kind of think that duck may not have survived i would imagine there would be a lot of pressure once it fell down there

Infrared photos always looks so cool. These are no exception! ☺️

@dfinney they sure are.. I want to bring my camera everywhere new to see what it will capture.
