RE: Succulents by sunny windows - Infrared Macro Photography
Oh! I dunno! It's confusing!! Are these images true IR? Maybe if you could keep them side-by-side with the normal visible-light ones @solominer, they'll be easier to appreciate. I just looked at one of your other posts and found that one of the jars is actually quite dark colored. So maybe they r true IR!
You must be knowing better!! 😜
Your thinking of thermal vision. My wavelength I'm capturing is in the near infrared.
Yes my plan is to blend them so both can be seen side by side.
Hey, thermal vision works on IR....doesn't it?
Anyways, great job!!
Thermal or longwave infrared (TIR or LWIR) light includes wavelengths between 8,000 and 15,000 nanometers. My camera can only see up to about 1,200 nanometers. Normal cameras can only see up to about 740 nanometers for reference. But my camera was modified to see further into the ultraviolet and the infrared spectrums.
I would need replace my silica glass lenses and mirrors with germanium to possibly see in those wavelengths. Though the silicon the camera sensor is made of may need additional work to see in such spectrums.
