dabateman Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well UV photography must really be within reach now. https://www.foxnews.com/health/portraits-reveal-invisible-skin-imperfections-caused-by-uv-rays.amp This came up below my typically Google searches. Googles knows I search for cameras and uv photography, so not too surprised it came up. Link to comment
JMC Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Good to see UV imaging in the news - it offers a lot to both the research and art worlds. However I really hope they were wearing contact lenses with good UV blockers for those head shots.... Link to comment
dabateman Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yes, I think the follow-up article may be."A French photographer has causes skin cancer and blindness..." Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Pierre-Louis Ferrar is one of our members! Look for the handle Don Pilou. Here is one of his portrait series. Be sure to scroll down to Post #4. So cool!!!http://www.ultravioletphotography.com/content/index.php/topic/2272-portrait-workshop/ Congratulations to Don Pilou on getting some recognition in a national US news organization! I don't read Fox, so thanks David for providing this link. Link to comment
DonPilou Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hi there,Thanks a lot for sharing the link here. I did not expect such spread of my work, although they miss the topic of my series. I do not want to present anxious portraits but RAW portraits (explaining the title of my series ;) ) but as for other media a more spectacular point of view was chosen. Link to comment
DonPilou Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 And concerning the open eyes: I used unfiltered flashes emitting a lot of visible light and a few UV light (far less than with a Broncolore tube). And I shot 1, max 2 times by portrait, so I think the eyes of the models are safe ;) Link to comment
dabateman Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Well great work.I am starting to see more UV photography in general media. Looks like this niche may pickup. Hopefully the cost of filters will drop again. I would rather pay $200 for the BaaderU, as I did the first time rather than the current $400 tag. Hopefully my cracked one will hold out for a couple more years. Link to comment

The filter you linked to is not anUV-pass filter.H-alpha is a specific deep-red visible spectral line in the Balmer series with a wavelength of 656.28 nm in air; it occurs when a hydrogen electron falls from its third to second lowest energy level. Wikipedia Baader Planetarium is a series of filters. The one we use most often in that series is the Baader U:https://www.ebay.com...CYAAOSw7ApdBrEEhe filter you linked to is not anUV-pass filter.
