I like to try to see what different plants and materials look like with Ultra-Violet (UV) Fluorescence. A few days ago I tried photographing a wall mounted ‘Green Man’ head that is covered with a Tradescantia. The basic look was pretty boring but, by using different blending methods in Photoshop, I managed to get some interesting effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start with this is the first basic image in both daylight and UV fluorescence (drag the slider to compare the 2 images):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I then tried different way to blend the 2 images and came up with these 2 versions which, again, I am showing with a comparison slider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I was quite pleased with the blue effect but thought ‘This is a Green Man’, so I moved the colours to green! I do like the effect..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is example 2 comparing the daylight flash and UV fluorescence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is the green man effect:<\/p>\n\n\n

An interesting exercise. I have other images with blend effects that I intend to write about later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
