Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography – Water trail
The trail in these photos were used for collecting water, an old path maybe over a hundred years old. Its hard to say exactly the method of extracting this was and moving it up the hill. I asked the owner of the property and she said it was a water road, but unknown if vehicles, horses or hand drawn wagons were used to move it up and down the mountain.

Follow the trees, they know where the water is. And certain trees prefer more than others, so a keen eye can spot good places to set up due to what is growing in the area.
The trees curve over trying to get to the sunlight made by the water trail, since the area is kept free of plants trees up high want that space for more access to light.
I wonder how old some of the trees are, if they had eyes what have they seen. The amazing amount of hot days and cold nights they have endured but stayed in the same place none the less. They are stuck there, but luckily we are not.
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.
