[UV, VIS] Spring Daffodils meet ZEISS UV-Sonnar 105mm

Today some experiments using a ZEISS UV-Sonnar 105mm, Hasselblad 501 C/M body and Phase One digiback. Target were some spring daffodils which had just started to flower.

So here side-a-side the VIS and UV shot:


[that "black" background cardboard I was using was not black in UV]

Not much to see in UV except the lit tips on the petals and the structure on that petal surface which gets visible.


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