I have recently tried to photograph Thrift \/ Seapink in Ultra Violet light and showing the fluorescence in visible light. Two things became obvious: The amazing colours of the fluorescence, and the amount of dust specs fluorescing – mostly in the background. Here are some of the results (some of which I am showing with before\/after sliders):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a before\/after shot showing the amount of dust (mostly in the background) and the cleaned-up version of the image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next I compare the colourful fluorescing image compared to a monochrome UV image – the UV is hard to photograph and I am still developing my techniques:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may observe slight differences in the alignment as 2 different cameras and lenses where used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For completeness I show the plant in normal visible light:<\/p>\n\n\n

And finally I show a view of the setup used – nothing fancy here!<\/p>\n\n\n
