Robert W. Wood's Infrared photography.

[greyhaze]

So a little research on infrared photography led me to the scientist Robert Wood, known as a pioneer of infrared photography. Apparentally he is the person who discovered the effects of photographing infrared light. The glowing of foilage "The wood effect" was named after him. Anyways, what I was interested in seeing was his actual photography which I couldn't seem to find conventionally, ie. google images. So I did some digging and found some old articles about his discovery and some images as well. The links are bellow. If anyone else has better pictures or any pictures captured by him. Please conntribute them to this thread.

Thank you for hinting at those articles.

They show what interesting effects can be gained when a physicist not longer photographs spectrums, but real life instead.
