Here's something a bit different

[Nezza]

I've been doing macro photography for a while so I thought I would have a go at something different. Green Hairstreaks are attractive little butterflies but blend in with the greenery so I thought I would have a go at taking them using an infra red converted camera. They do stand out well then but is it nature photography ?.

Wow that's cool. Literally, I suppose. I wonder how it would look as a negative.

for me in any case :-)

Nice images!

"...undisturbed subjects in their natural environment." A wild hairstreak photographed in IR totally qualifies!

Interesting and attractive, for sure!

But I'm thinking this is near-IR, so dark means absorbent at those wavelengths. I would not be surprised if in thermal IR the wings showed up as a little warmer than ambient.
