Flower show?

[Namestom]

I have a ug11 filter and one that captures 370-390nm. There is a flower show this weekend. Do you think there will be enough indoor uv for good photos?

Doesn't hurt to try. But be ready incase it fails with a regular camera. You most likely would not be able to bring a tripod. So see if you can bring a monopod (walking stick).

You maybe able to use a discrete flash, like a Canon 199A. I have seen people bring spray bottles to mist a flower for a shot. Which I think is wrong. I don't want your nasty dirty water on my plant.

 

But a discrete flash, monopod and your 370nm-390nm filter should help for a fast photo, that shouldn't slow down or bother too many people.

 

You might be lucky on the lighting and they might have big mercury vapour lamps light in a high school gym. Or unlucky with all new LEDs. Never know unless you try.

Maybe I didn't take it for granted, but are you also using an IR-block filter in conjunction with the UG11?

Yes I have a s8612 filter.

It's unlikely that you will get any useable shots if it's all indoors, unless you crank up the ISO. Even if there's lots of skylights, the glass will filter out some of the UV.
