The night life of a meadow

[ins13]

Walk through the meadow with a camera and UV flashlight but without a tripod. And for this reason the quality of photos is "not Studio" but i just wanted to shoot as it is in the nature

I had wondered and continue to wonder why the fluorescence of herbs is blue. Chlorophyll fluorescence must be red like the fluorescence of leaves of trees and shrubs.

The little spider in #3 is cute!

Thanks for the comment :)

 

There this spider is without a shadow from a blade of grass

Cool shots.

I have found that at least so far, monocots fluoresce blue and dicots fluoresce red. In have a thread somewhere about that.

 

Not sure why yet though.

Please be careful not to bathe any living creatures in UV light for too long a time. We are not sure of the effects on insects or animals.

Andrea, yes, sure!! I always remember that! I shoot at short exposures, never use a tripod in such situations. And I never direct ultraviolet light on animals that have eyelids and/or bare skin.
