nfoto Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The UV signature is as expected for this species at least. The colour scheme is perhaps a little unusual, but we are picking nits here as false colours have no true definition - by definition (sic). The Lesser Celandine is also known as Ranunculus ficaria. The corolla segments (honey leaves not strictly petals) have a shiny, oily surface which makes it almost impossible to get close-ups without any reflections. Link to comment
nurWolfgang Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hello Birna thanks for the addition the German name is Scharbockskraut or Feigwurz In the normal light macro world I would have photographed the flower from the side shading the actual plant and keeping the background brighter best with ligth from the back to avoid the refexions. I add a discribtion I made a wile ago for the ones who may be intrested Unfortunately, shading is not really helpful in UV photography. :)As for the colors if already colorful then it does not matter and you can make it really colorful :) best regards Wolfgangbokeh.pdf Link to comment
