Photographer Steven Saphore, armed with nothing more than a screwdriver and super glue, made some simple modifications to his DSLR camera. Digital camera sensors are inherently sensitive to wavelengths of visible and infrared light. However, infrared light has no use in visible light photography as it cannot be seen and the camera will meter for light that isn’t there (resulting in unpredictable exposures). The white tones you are seeing in leaves indicate a presence chlorophyll. The darker areas indicate a lack of chlorophyll, which could be from drier leaves, or thinner vegetation revealing rocks and soil through them
