In one of the campsites I visited there was an old tree stump. The remains of a tree that was cut down awhile back. Maybe the tree broke off during a storm or maybe it grew too big for the space it was in for the camp ground. But what remains is a stump, but not all is dead. There is a Lichen colony growing from the top of the stump. It appears to have grown down the sides as well.

It looks like most of the bark has fallen off the stump, making me think its a few years old. Now just the core of the tree remains and the Lichen have moved in to live on the structure of the old tree.
Pine needles were all over, as near by Pine trees were growing in clusters around this old stump. I wonder if the Lichen prefers the Pine needles or not. Its reflecting white as the infrared light is reflected back at my camera.

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.
