Due to some recent rains I got to see some happy moss, it soaked up what remained on a log. Looks like it has a little head of hair on top of the log.. Since moss is a plant and uses chlorophyll, so it reflects infrared light making it show up as bright white to my camera. The log long lost its ability to do that since its dead so it just looks normal. Or at least more normal in the world of this kind of photography.

I got a close up of another piece of moss growing on a log, it was covered in pine straw but did not seem to mind.
It was "flowering" I say it this way as its more of a fruiting body than an actual flower. Moss are simple plants like Ferns that do not produce actual flowers, but do have these antenna looking things that help it to reproduce.
A piece of lichen growing on a branch, another type of moss but also an bacteria hybrid. They work together to stop the moss from drying out when no rain comes for awhile. And the moss feeds the bacteria so they both work together.
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.
