#52wochenfotochallenge mit dem Thema #Straßenlaterne in #Infrared

Ein nicht ganz so leicht umzusetzendes Thema. Und diese Laterne hätte ich auch noch fast übersehen...

Spiral #Galaxy NGC 2566 from #Webb

#Infrared image of spiral galaxy NGC 2566 shows diffraction spikes from Webb #telescope, not real features. Its bright center likely hosts a quiet supermassive black hole. At 76 million light-years away, its star-forming clouds are visible, akin to the Milky Way in size and structure.

More IR...

San Francisco from Mount Diablo, which, amazingly, is only about 50 km away. In 850 nm near-infrared, sampling about 70 cm/px in the full size. https://www.flickr.com/photos/midendian/54513163868/

Full moon rising - infrared/monochrome.

As seen in the mountains of southern New Mexico.

In near-IR the blue sky is rather dark, and trees/vegetation are almost white. Near-IR cuts through the haze, so the moon looks almost as if there is no atmosphere. (The trees are about 1/4 mile, 400 meters away...so they are slightly out of focus, but the moon is sharp.)

Camera is a modified Sony a6300, 400mm lens, 850 nanometers long pass IR filter. Image slightly cropped from entire frame.

Visionary Photographer’s Landscapes Are a Love Letter to Nature https://petapixel.com/2025/05/01/visionary-photographers-landscapes-are-a-love-letter-to-nature/ #arildheitman #lofotentours #Inspiration #Spotlight #infrared #stianklo #svalbard #norway

2/5 #infrared
From my first snaps with a newly converted #fullspectrum #Olympus EM1ii in my local park.

A frantic search for filters that fitted a suitable lens led to a #fourthirds 35mm f3.5 macro lens - which is sharp and works well for distance shots as well as close-ups. (The zooms were too big for my filters and the primes too small).

Having a #microfourthirds #ir camera makes it easier to take it away with me as it has the same battery and lenses as my main EM1iii camera. And I had managed to scratch the glass over the sensor on the ii with some overenthusiastic lens adaption.

The Galactic Center in Radio from MeerKAT

MeerKAT's radio image reveals the Milky Way's center, including Sgr A with its supermassive black hole. The vast 2-degree view details many celestial features, while JWST's inset probes star formation and magnetic fields. Optical telescopes can't see this due to dust.
