Full Moon over Weinheim Castle: multispectral photography II

Here today shots of the full Harvest Moon over Windeck castle here in my hometown Weinheim Germany. Shots were done in full spectrum mode (i.e. mainly infrared) and in reflected ultraviolet using Baader-U filter. Lens used was my UV-Nikkor 105mm quartz fluorite lens. Light source was moonlight resp. the castle lighting system. All shots were done at approx. f8. No later whitebalancing was done, pictures straight out of the camera.

Full moon is always special and first I was sad to see all the clouds, but then it turned out quite nicely and all that drama got nicely visible.

I have more moon shots HERE.


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

Full Moon over Weinheim Castle: multispectral photography

Here today shots of the full moon over Windeck castle here in my hometown Weinheim Germany. Shots were done aside from visible photography in reflected ultraviolet using Baader-U filter. Lens used was my CERCO 94mm quartz fluorite lens. Light source was moonlight resp. the castle lighting system. All shots were done at approx. f8. No later whitebalancing was done, pictures straight out of the camera.

Freudenberg Villa at Hermannshof Park in reflected ultraviolet photography and simulated bee vision

Today shots of the former Freudenberg Villa (visible in the background castle Wachenburg), today owned and used as a meeting location by German company Freudenberg, located in the beautiful public Hermannshof Park jointly owned and operated by teh City of Weinheim and the comapany Freudenberg where I like to take flower pictures as there are about 2500 flower species to be found. Shots were done in reflected ultraviolet photography using my "work horse" UV filter, the Baader-U filter as well as in simulated bee vision using my XBV6 filter. Lens was a 55mm Dialyte lens. Light source was sunlight. All shots were done at about f8.

This man made building shows different UV reflections, mainly around 380nm, and all this gets nicely visible.
