The tree roots twist and tangle like the veins of the earth, reaching deep into the ground. Their shapes are rough and intricate, giving an almost alien feel, like something out of a Giger artwork. These roots seem alive, as if they are part of a larger, hidden system beneath the surface, carrying life through the land. The black-and-white tones add to the eerie, yet fascinating look of the scene.

How was it taken?

This image was captured with a full-spectrum camera, which is sensitive to a wide range of wavelengths. A 850nm infrared filter was used to block most visible light, allowing only infrared light above 850 nanometers to reach the sensor. This results in a black-and-white image where elements like foliage reflect infrared light, creating high contrast and surreal textures that are invisible to the human eye.
