I captured some macro shots of a Spiderwort and Pyrethrum Daisy in their early stages of opening. These pictures were taken in the mid spring when the plants started producing flowers.

The little flowers in the Spiderwort are a blue color, pretty cool my UV IR filter captured that color a little in the flower.
The Daises were still a week from opening, but the little knobs were filled with unopened petals waiting for the right time to open.
The Pyrethrum Daisy plant had a lot of leaves on it, interesting shaped ones none the less like pieces of coral.

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.
