Your First ever UV photograph

[dabateman]

This was Started in Birna's gallery. But I think its odd to post my photos in someone's gallery. Just looked through the hard drive to find when my Baader Venus U arrived.

 

Here are the first ever in focus UV photographs I ever took from when I received my Baader Venus U filter.

 

These were taken on October 17, 2008. Using a stock unmodified Olympus E3 camera and surprising to me my 14-54mm f2.8/3.5 lens.

 

Required dandilion photo (E3, 14-54mm lens at 54mm, F4, IOS800, 2 seconds hand held):

 

Bethesda's first church (E3, 14-54mm lens at 14mm, F4, ISO 800, 1 second, hand held):

 

Olympus cameras still have excellent IBIS and weak UV blocking, which is great. The Olympus 35mm Macro was better for UV, I must not have had it yet when I first got my Baader Venus filter.

 

Comparison with Olympus 35mm f3.5 Macro on stock unmodified E3 with Baader Venus U (straight out of camera):

ISO 400, 1 second, F3.5, April 10th, 2009:

I consider this primitive in camera cyanotype to be my first UV photograph.

 

 

As far as first digital UV photograph I took that today. Sony Nex5, Nikon AFS-DX 35mm @ ƒ1.8, 1/30 ISO 400 La La U UV-Pass Filter

 

As far as flowers and things I like this picture of blackberries in the shade. Sony Nex5, Nikon AFS-DX 35mm @ ƒ1.8, 1/6 ISO 800 La La U UV-Pass Filter

 

I have a few other flowers but I'll be out testing a different lens tomorrow. I'll get those blackberries in full sun.

Congrats KaJashey! You can white balance those by clicking on something magenta in a program that isn’t Adobe.
