Full-spectrum photography at Cambridge Botanic Gardens
Most full-spectrum digital cameras can detect some ultraviolet, all of the visible and much of the near infrared spectrum (350 nm to 1000 nm). However, the longer infrared waves are recorded the strongest and remove much of the visible light in the blue and green areas in a full spectrum photograph. Here are some examples from a day in the Cambridge Botanic Gardens yesterday. Interested how the Greenbottle's metallic colours recorded so strongly despite the background information above!. The first image, taken with a lot of green foliage overhead cutting out some of the shorter wavelengths, reminded me of trips to northern Scandinavia and the views as our small plane came into land!!

Paxton Pits
The Dragonflies are still very active at Paxton with lots of Common and Ruddy Darters, Willow Emeralds and Southern Hawkers in the air and resting up. Images with FS Panasonic G2 and 60mm Olympus macro to test quality. These have been through PureRaw3 for noise removal but no changes to colours etc.
