Hi Len,

In my opinion such images are very interesting and nice but it seems to me
that infrarred light eliminates the subtles tones differences and increase
the grain, is a nice way to continue experimenting.

Asunto: [Leica] Flowers in Ultra-Violet

The flowers were exposed with Ultra-Violet light from a black light in an
otherwise totally dark room.

Please comment on what you think.

The camera was a D2X at 20 sec exposure
Lens an El-Nikkor 105mm f5.6  at f11 mounted in a Nikon PB4 bellows with a
homemade F to LTM adapter Focus was in incandescent light.
Exposure black light only, using a hot mirror filter and a B+H 403 UV
bandpass filter.

No attempt was made to color correct. The 403 filter is a nearly black, red
filter.

I tried the same setup using a D200 and even with a 6 stop exposure increase
no image was produced.  Totally black.

As a retired engineer I can't stop experimenting. I just think it's fun.
Hope you enjoy it.

Len
