I got a few new IR filters, so here is how my world looks in that light. No post-processing color replacements, just what the filter sees (IRChrome gallery and CandyChrome gallery from Kolari).

Your work that invokes a Platonic space as the region where all potential patterns exist to be downloaded or “ingressed” has got me believing in the sacred again. at least willing to consider it. This has made an enormous difference in my vitality levels. So many thanks. I

Like an alien planet
I thought I could pick a favorite, but I found something that I loved in all of them. Going through those pictures was a moving experience. I’m glad you stick Godzilla in there for comic release. Seriously, who does that? 🙂
R-72 filters do not provide sufficient data for color. Leaves should be white with a violent hue, tree bark is black. These images were infact post processed. I say this because I have been doing Infrared photography for over 35 years. Anything that can reflect light will show up as white-violet tinted
So, for anyone who might be misled by the confident (but incorrect) “in fact post processed”, here are some details of how I get the photos. They were absolutely not post-processed, and if I figure out how, I’ll attach here an iPhone shot of the viewfinder of my camera so everyone can see that is what they look like on the camera itself. What I have is a Sony Alpha 6000, which was modified by Kolari to remove the IR filter inside. Then I bought some filters for the lens, such as

https://kolarivision.com/product/kolari-vision-ir-chrome-lens-filter/?attribute_pa_lens-filter-size=49mm
and shot some images and selected some to put up here. That’s it; I would love to know how to do the color replacement I’ve read about but haven’t had time to learn to do that. This is what they look like right in the camera. So I don’t know what R-72 means, or what hardware you’ve been using for 35 years, but that is what the described setup can do. (and I have no relationship with Kolari and am only mentioning them because that is what I used)
I like Godzilla hugging the carrot resembling Godzilla. Always fascinating to view nature with different colors. It shows our perception advantage, disadvantage and natures beauty.
IR light penetrates the body and causes cytochrome c to produce more ATP with less ROS (less inflammation).
Notice how the leaves and plants show up as red in your photos. This is because they reflect almost all IR light. This is the very reason green spaces support mitochondrial health.
The following video shows how infrared photography can be used to support mitochondrial health by showing what environments are devoid of IR light

This video gives detail about the relationship between IR light and health outcomes.

Since IR light sources are used on wound healing it is reasonable to consider that there may be applications for regeneration of tissue.

I have seen your presentation at the Guy Foundation, Michael, so I am sure the video above is not new to you.
I personally take my work outside in the early and late day sun whenever possible for maximum IR exposure with limited exposure to UV light.

Best of health to all of you reading this.
