The views standing on the observation deck are amazing, the flowing mountains covered with endless trees was just such an amazing view. These are the Cohutta Mountains, a small mountain range at the south end of the Appalachian Forest. It also lies within the Chattahoochee National Forest.

It was in the late morning and to the right of the images the sun was coming up. Using my 720 nanometer filter I captured a golden yellow sky while the trees were bright white.
A few mine trees were around the observation deck giving a little shade in an otherwise open area.
Looking to the left the sloping mountains can be seen for many miles. I stood there for many minutes just trying to take in the scale of this forest but I was unable to rationalize it and just had to walk away wondering what I missed.

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.
