Infrared Photography - Yates Power substation

On the road heading back home I saw a power facility on a quiet road, and stopped and took some pictures. Its well gated and protected from anyone trying to get in. I took pictures from the fence and you could hear a constant hum coming from the area. Using my 850 nanometer infrared filter, I cut out all visible light only letting in the colorless infrared light.

These photos are my posts for #architecturalphotography

I wonder what that cylinder is for thats mounted to those structures. Looks like to store some kind of liquid.

The fence had barbed wire and was covered with plants growing all around. Though the direct grounds of the facility lacked any plants, due to the risk the branches could grow and short circuit the systems.

Powerlines spanned over head going to the retired Yates Power plant and going to the Chattahooche Bend State Park in the other direction.

Looking up the road I just traveled from, it was covered with grass on both sides but there was a safe place to pull off to take these photos.

The other direction of the road had construction signs up ahead and was the way I am going back home.

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.
