Random UV-pictures from this summer

[Alex H]

Four random shots taken this August while I was at the field station on the Swedish coast of the North Sea, all taken with full-spectrum NEX-6, Baader-U2 filter and Focotar-2 50mm lens.

Nice selection & presentation Alex

Looks like a nice & natural location.

The first foto is very intriguing. And it reads nicely in the delicate UV tints.

I'm thinking this is some kind of hay gathering attachment to a tractor - or perhaps to a team of horses in earlier days?

 

I have also enjoyed the lichen and the leaf as an interesting juxtaposition of textures.

 

You are always first a photographer - and then a UV photographer. That's a good thing.

The tonality of the bracken frond set against the rock surface covered by lichens is elegantly presented.

Thanks Andrea and Bjørn. The first one is indeed the attachment to gather hay for a tractor.

Alex,

I particularly enjoy your pastoral scenes. I believe your hay rake is a horse drawn design, given the arrangement of the seat, although many remain in service converted to be pulled by tractors. You inspire me to shoot some UV around my parents farm!

Looking forward to see your shots, John.

I would be pleased with myself if able to only dimly reflect your artistic capabilities.

[Andrea B.]

Practice, practice.
