[UV] Zinnia with deep UV reflection pattern - ultraviolet HDTV video

Today more about UV videos, here shots from Hermannshof park of Zinnia flowers from Mexico (I published about them here earlier). These flowers exhibit a very prominent and very deep into UV reaching bullseye pattern, here represented by green - yellow colors corresponding to an about 340 - 360nm UV reflection (cf my false color UV palette), which gets nicely visible in this HDTV video.

This video here also uses my Standardized false UV color normal + high intensity palette:

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

[UV] Foraging bee on Zinnia flower in UV - ultraviolet HDTV video

Today more about UV videos, here shots from Hermannshof park of a foraging bee on a Zinnia flower from Mexico (I published about them here earlier. This flower exhibits a very prominent and deep into UV reaching bullseye pattern with some grayish reflection, corresponding to an about 370nm UV reflection (cf my standardized false UV color palette), which gets nicely visible in this HDTV video.

This video here also uses my Standardized false UV color normal + high intensity palette:

[UV] Fly and Bumble Bee on Rudbeckia flower - ultraviolet HDTV video

Today more about UV videos, again using a Rudbeckia fulgida flower, but this time with two guests, an inspecting fly and a foraging Bumble Bee. This flower exhibit a very prominent UV bullseye pattern, which gets nicely visible in this HDTV video; before I had shown UV video snippets in May 2009 as a preparation for the filming of BBC's "Richard Hammonds Invisible Worlds".
These videos here also use my Standardized false UV color normal + high intensity palette:

[UV] street scene in reflected UV ultraviolet - HDTV video

Today again about UV videos, which I had already presented here and much earlier in May 2009 here. This here is a street scene as seen from my balcony in reflected ultraviolet light (320-390nm). The houses show interesting UV reflections, which I would like to present here in HDTV video form.

This video also uses my Standardized false UV color normal + high intensity palette:

[UV] Rudbeckia flower - reflected UV ultraviolet HDTV video

Today about UV videos, here using a Rudbeckia fulgida and R. hirta as examples. These flowers exhibit a very prominent UV bullseye pattern, which I would like to present here as a HDTV video; before I had shown UV video snippets in May 2009 as a preparation for the filming of BBC's "Richard Hammonds Invisible Worlds".

These videos here also use my Standardized false UV color normal + high intensity palette:

[UV, FL, VIS, NIR] A very special Zinnia from Mexico

Today about a very special Zinna flower from Mexico, the boss of our most beautiful park Hermannshof, Weinheim, Prof. Cassian Schmidt gave me for my research and photographic work.

This special flower exhibits very prominent patterns under various filtering and lighting conditions which I would like to present here.

[UV] Zinnia shot at 333nm UV in the field

Today about shooting Zinnias at 333nm in the field as I wanted to see, if it was doable.

Standardized reflected false UV "colors" according to the previously described "UV color palette" related to wavelength.

Standardized false UV color normal + high intensity palette:



VIS:

and another one:

VIS:


UV using Baader-U2 (320-390nm):


UV using 333nm narrowband filter (325-340nm):


It seems to be doable on bright sunny days as it was today, but one has to certainly pray for less wind, since the exposure needed for the 333nm shot was substantially longer, 1-2sec @ISO1250.


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