No. 34. Backyard Infrared

I recently acquired a new “full Spectrum” camera for shooting infrared photos. My old converted Pentax K10 gave up the ghost some time ago. The K10 had been modified to capture infrared wavelengths at 720nm and above. I had it converted to IR after it had spent several years on the shelf.
This new camera is a virginal Canon point-and-shoot modified by Kolari Vision. I captured the above images in my backyard with a 590nm filter and processed them using Kolari’s channel switching software. This little bit of code swaps the red and blue channels resulting in a deep blue sky (and shadows), rather than a yellow-red sky.
This little camera came with 590nm and 720nm filters as well as a Hot Mirror filter that blocks IR and allows shorter wavelengths to impinge on the sensor, thus allowing color capture. (Other IR filters are available.)

No. 27. Art on the Avenue

No. 20. May in Morgantown

Morgantown, PA was a booming iron ore and limestone Mining area through much of the 19th and 20th Centuries. The area is noted for red and pink limestone, reflecting the concentration of iron in the area.

No. 8. Virgin Snow on Sand Spring Trail

Today much of the East coast is shut down because of a winter storm that has crossed the country in recent days. These pictures are from a short early morning hike on the Sand Spring Trail near Shartlesville, PA, following a recent gentle snowfall.

No. 1. Wet Feet

2018 was the wettest year on record in our county and much of the East Coast. These are pictures from a New Year’s Day hike along the Union Canal Trail along the Tulpehocken Creek. The creek is swollen, with uprooted trees laying int he river and the bogs on either side of the trail over lysaturated.
