X135 UV calibrated f2.8/135mm lens: golden reflected UV ultraviolet photography

Well, today I dug out this lens of mine that I have calibrated and used for reflected UV photography a while ago. It has a 5e/5g design and I have posted about it here .

So today about UV photography using this lens, executed using one of my last Rudbeckia fulgida flowers. Sunlight was used as a light source.

Oh well and I forgot to mention that I used my special "golden" processing for these autumnal shots, which I have already used HERE and HERE.

and here some autumnal leafs, Hydrangea in that case...




This was more some "artsy" playing with light then my usual documentary work, but still the very prominent UV pattern of that Rudbeckia gets nicely visible.

Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
