A lone tree on a windswept hillside above Stalybridge and Glossop
For a few weeks every August the heather on the moors of the Peak District blooms, turning all the hills a beautiful purple colour.
This is an infrared image of a silver birch tree at the end of a dry stone wall at Dove Stone Reservoir, in the Peak District. Infrared light isn't visible to the eye, so the photographs created with either infrared film or a converted sensor have a surreal, almost dreamlike element to them. The infrared light reflects off the chlorophyll in foliage. making it almost white. The more chlorophyll in a leaf or a blade of grass, the brighter it will appear in the image. More chlorophyll also means the foliage is healthy.
This image was created with Rollei infrared film and a R72 infrared filter.
The tree. This is an infrared image of a tree. Infrared light isn't visible to the eye, so the photographs created with either infrared film or a converted sensor have a surreal, almost dreamlike element to them. The leaves and grass, because of how they react to infrared appear white in this picture.
This image was created with Kodak HIE film, which is now no longer available. It is more sensitive to infrared light than the films available now, and gives a much more contrasting effect.

this is an infrared view of Wimberry Rocks at Dovestones, as well as the most photographed tree there. Listed as a 'Notable Tree' by the Woodland Trust (ID 14774) This common sycamore tree is easy to spot, standing on its own above the reservoir. Wimberry Rocks, also know locally as Indians Head, is a large gritstone cliff due to its shape, like an Indian looking up to the sky.
