[UV] Caltha palustris (Buttercup) flower in deep UV reflected ultraviolet photography

Today about a Caltha palustris (Buttercup, Marsh Marigold) spring flower shot in deep UV using a Baader U (320-390nm) and a special 300-350nm filter. Shot was done using a Cerco 94mm quartz fluorite lens.

The UV images here also uses my standardized false UV color normal + high intensity palette:



Visual light shot (VIS):


Ultraviolet light (Baader U filter, 320-390nm):


Ultraviolet light (special filter, 300-350nm):


Ultraviolet light (special filter, 300-350nm, different whitebalance):


It was too windy for that special filter, so I had to use high ISO, so the quality is not my usual one.

So exploring the world beyond 350nm goes on...


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

[UV] White Clematis in deep UV - reflected ultraviolet photography

Today about a white Clematis flower shot in deep UV using a special 300-350nm filter. shot was done using a Cerco 94mm quartz fluorite lens. I have previously shot the same Clematis here using my standard Baader U filter.

1) using Baader U whitebalance:


2) different whitebalance (false UV color palette does not match then):



Quite interesting which details this flower reveals.

[UV] Mirablis jalapa in reflected ultraviolet light and deep UV

The astonishing Mirabilis jalapa in various wavebands, broadband UV using Baader U filter (320-390nm) and a special 300-350nm filter. Shots from last autumn.

VIS:


UV: Baader U2


UV: 300-350nm



The shorter the UV waveband used gets, the more details the flower reveals.


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