My ultraviolet and infrared photos are already quite surreal. But I think there is more to add to them that just what the camera sees. So I ran one of my photos taken awhile back with my special camera through a python script that uses machine learning to "stylize" my content photo.
The python scripts model was taught to look for lines, shapes and other details and then attempt to merge them between two photos.

I took two photos, one of my Ultraviolet / Infrared photos of some homes in the early morning in a subdivision. And the other is some artwork that has straight lines to it along with some abstract designs. For inputs into the application I used the above two photos and after about ten minutes of GPU rendering and eighteen iterations I got the result as the first photo.
While the images are being processed, the console shows me how each iteration is going. The first photo was 18 iterations into the neutral style transfer.

These images are being hosted by Spee.ch
An image hosting service on top of the LBRY protocol.
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.
