Thirty years after the fallout, while men still stay away, the forests, the animals, the plants, everything is thriving, revived by nature.

Anyone else notice the last picture looks exactly like the pool in the school in PUBG

Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
notkvothethebloodless
Hey where is this at? I cant be positive from the descriptions, certainly its not the chernobyl exclusion zone
Tinebra
Wonderful, thanks for sharing it!

These pics are cool but would be so much better if they weren’t blown out with that dumb filter

send nudes in infrared

Good thing each picture clarified that it was in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone..

Is there still radiation in the area?

Pretty sure that machinery that was used to clean the roof was a drop pod from Warhammer 40k.

So many Rads.

Get out of here Stalker!

Please describe this IR cam....

Interesting photos, tell us more about the camera used. @op
ChickWithAnAttitude
Shot with a full spectrum camera, and a 590nm infrared filter from Kolari Vision. (Link in last description)

No stalkers, anomalies or, artifacts?

Yes! Just finished reading roadside picnic, loved it

They're invisible to infrared
BeesechurgerProductions
invisible to infrared would've made STALKER like, ten times easier.
FrequentListenerFirstTimeCaller
The fallout made a talking fox? Why haven't we heard this before?!?!?
ImAFoxButNotReally
Dude, it's old news. They even made a documentary: fantastic Mr fox.

I love shooting in infrared, though i haven't spent the money to convert my camera. I have to use an infrared lens. Exposures take longer.
MeSoErnie
You don't need to spend money. If you can follow instructions you can do it for free. Although some models may need soldering.
Usernameschecksout
I'm just terrified to take apart my expensive camera and risk messing it up
MeSoErnie
Yeah I did it to an older one.

BRB packing up to go feed Simon
5NoteHalf
While I do have the same inclination, Simon can prolly dose you with more rads than your recommended 10-year intake just by touching him.
GadenKerensky
Probably not, but ingesting his hairs could be a problem; researchers have to wear masks when dealing with sedated wolves in the area.
5NoteHalf
True, but I still wouldn't want him living under my porch. ; )

50 000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town.

I haven't played that game in over 10 years and I still read that in the right voice. Gave me chills.
IDKiwnl
Over 10 years? it came out Nov 2007, does that mean you didn't play it? :3
humdiddlydoo
So is that radioactive glow real or a photo effect?
humdiddlydoo
...this was a serious question...
5NoteHalf
That's infrared, so some of it is probably naturally occurring light and some of it is probably very much due to radioactivity.
GadenKerensky
That's a photo effect. Chernobyl and Pripyat and the surrounds look dreary and overgrown, not nearly as pretty.
humdiddlydoo
Thank yaaa
KDXD
can we spend our honeymoon in chernobyl @blaydur
blaydur
YESSSSS I WOULD LOVE TO!
EdoubleLIOdoubleT
I just wonder if any of these were taken in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone?
Merxmaszx
Ahhhh I just commented something similar. Great minds think alike
EdoubleLIOdoubleT
But fools seldom differ.... never forget the end of that quote lol
Merxmaszx
Or, as the Genie would say "great minds think for themselves"
ChickWithAnAttitude
I know, I hated the descriptions, but they were put there in case people split the pics from the title. (Sorry mate)
EdoubleLIOdoubleT
Lol... it's np really... I'm just being provocative
IrrelevantHipster
I think the third one was in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone actually, might be wrong though
Jilian
How can you tell?
ABirdWalkedOnMyPillow
Get Simon out of there!
5NoteHalf
Baaad idea. Simon's an (adorable) walking nuclear hazard. Anywhere you put him, other than there, he's dosing flora, fauna, and people.
Crossark
This isn't an infrared camera, this is the levels window in photoshop.
cat7e
They resemble overdone HDR (High Dynamic Range) pictures.
candunc
It looks like ultraviolet with a blue filter. Hence why most objects look brown, they lack blue.
MeSoErnie
Looks like an infrared convertion to me. Just take out the filter.
Corona688
Still not an infrared camera. That'd be thermal.
MeSoErnie
Uh you do realize"thermal" isn't a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, right?
Corona688
It uses careful measurements of longwave IR. It's what people understand as infrared. Either that or the night-vision kind. Not this.
Corona688
I would like to introduce you to the device known as a thermographic camera, which measures temperature at a distance.
DinoFart
Is it weird that I recognized a lot of those places because of CoD4?
superanth
I planted many a claymore amongst those bumper cars...
rusrsdude
I love that they tried their best to get the exact outline of the place. That was some good work. Totally miss it.

I've sniped so many people next to that pool

I recognize a lot from CoD4, and even some from PUBG (Antenna @ Military and Pool @ School)

COD(MW) sure took a dive but the original few were great.

It was a ground breaking game that changed fps' forever. He'll yeah! Sadly instead of progression the product was copy pasted.

No he is talking about call of duty modern warfare 2.
HaHarkAgain
I'm sorry but aren't infrared camera the one that shows heat signatures? Not just photos with more red tint?
MeSoErnie
No, just Google infrared convertion. You remap the rgb spectrum into infrared.
5NoteHalf
Infrared picks up the infrared light wavelength, and converts it to a visible color (usually white/gray, sometimes other, brighter ones.)
CKOD
infrared covers 700nm to ~1mm wavelength, ~3-15 um is usable for thermal cameras. A normal camera sensor will work ~300nm - 1um.
CKOD
But there are filters to keep UV and IR off the sensor,so the individual RGB filters only needs to work with visible light
CKOD
Strip the IR filter, the RGB 'bayer' filter doesnt stop IR either, and you get funky false-color images as seen above.
CKOD
So anything that reflects near IR (700-1000nm) can excite R,G, and B pixels despite being beyond red.
