Enjoy some amazing 590nm infrared photographs from the bonsai collection at the National Arboretum in Washington DC that I took this weekend ✨🌳

Taken with an IR converted Panasonic GX85, Lumix G 25mm f1.7 asph lens, 10/29/2022

down the foggy road - IR 590nm

When I had a full spectrum modification done to an old camera I ordered two filters with it.  I got the 830 nanometer filter which is pure infrared (the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum ends somewhere in the mid 700 nanometer range).  This is the filter I’ve used for the black and white infrared images I’ve been posting recently.  I also ordered a 590nm filter.  This filter blocks some of the yellows and everything lower in the spectrum (no blues, greens, purples, etc).  It allows some yellows, oranges and reds along with the full infrared part of the spectrum.  This facilitates the creation of some rather surreal artistic “false color” imagery.  It also requires a fair bit more on the post production side of things and therefore has a longer learning curve than the pure IR black and white which is fairly straight forward.  I’ve been playing with it some and this is the first image I find worthy of sharing here.  By swapping the red and blue channels in post production, along with a few other techniques you can bring back blue to the sky (even though absolutely zero blue color was captured in camera). Greens end up ranging from yellow to almost white adding a bit of warmth to the overall look. I grabbed this image of an almond orchard alongside I-5 in the vicinity of Artois California while on a mission a couple days ago as I was between rain squalls and there was some real sunlight (extremely helpful in infrared photography)    It won’t be the “cup of tea” of photographic purists but I’ve never considered myself one of those and I’m pleased with the overall look (at least for a relative "noob" like myself).

so Lucy remembered that as a teenager we really wanted to try near infrared photography, and we finally got some filters and stuff for it.

we're going to get a full spectrum converted camera eventually but in the meantime these were taken with an 850nm filter over our phone camera

and then this one where we played around more with the post-processing on it

we also have a few taken with a 590nm filter but we're figuring out what to do with those
