Infrared Photography – Chairs just chillin

in #photography6 years ago

Something about unoccupied chairs, especially in abandoned places. Though in this case someone lives here.

The saying “chairs just chillin” comes from the content creators The Proper People, they are urban explorers that check out abandoned places. When they see some chairs set up when they explore they call it chairs just chillin.. hah

The sun was hitting the back of the chairs, and making shadows through the leaves on the ground.

They are out in the front yard, im sure sitting there many cool animals can be seen and heard. Enjoy the smells and sights of nature, I hope the bugs wouldnt bother you too much.


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.

Those are cool chairs, but you need to stay humble. Take some bad photos once in a while. #flagged

This is a cool comment but you need to stay humble. Flagged for humblebragging. #swooped

@soundwavesphoton

If you look back at my first photos posted back in Feb my white balance was all off.

So enjoy those for bad photos: https://steemit.com/photography/@solominer/small-flowers-seen-with-infrared-macro-photography

Will do, maybe when I can be as modest such as yourself I can too paint mountains Pink.

@solominer, In first glance this picture is inspiring me to shoot my poetry video here. This place hold the silent story, but sip of tea can make the perfect loudness. Stay blessed. 🙂

@chireerocks

Oh great, I am glad I can be some inspiration to you with my photos. Hope your writing turns out well. And yeah it would be a nice place for some tea, I completely agree.

Thank you, yes, this place will suit for Tea and Coffee session. Have a blessed time ahead. 🙂

Once upon a time, I had a little white cast iron bistro set remarkably like the one in your photo. I presume this one is black or rust colored in natural light, rather than white. In some ways, the infrared seems to lend a more weighty reality to such objects.

@momzillanc oh cool, I think its white as well. And yeah I feel ya, I feel the perspectives are different with infrared.
