Stefano Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Just two quick photos, me in IR and UV a few hours before turning 20. Camera: Full-spectrum Canon EOS MLens: Soligor 35 mm f/3.5 FiltersIR: Hoya R72UV: ZWB2 (2 mm) + Chinese BG39 (2 mm) f/8, ISO 100, 1/200 s exposure f/8, ISO 6400, 1/30 s exposure I look so much different in the two images...

dabateman Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 You look so happy to be turning 20. You should try holding a largish sheet of aluminum foil in your hands just out of frame, so as to reflect some light on your lower right side. That would make it look better in UV especially. Link to comment
Stefano Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I may try that next time. UV makes everything really contrasty. I had to find a place to put my camera to take the photos, and this was the best I could find to have my face illuminated. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The illumination was fine, it's just you need to bounce some fill light. PTFE might be better even than foil because more diffuse reflectance? Good portraits, though, in both spectrums. Now you just have to repeat at 30 and 40 and you can see the sun do its thing...

Stefano Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I will probably do it, and see how I age. UV reveals a lot about your skin. Link to comment
dabateman Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Its true that PTFE would be better than aluminum foil. But I didn't expect him to have a roll or disc easily available. Aluminum foil is in most kitchens and the heavy duty strength roll used to line ovens is amazing and durable as a very cheap light reflector. Link to comment
Stefano Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thank you Andrea, that's so nice. Link to comment
Stefano Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yes, there is a small one. It is enough for today. *actually two, it seems. I will eat them later. **by "enough for today" I meant the cake(s), not that for today I am done. Link to comment
dabateman Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 What type of cake do you eat? As a kid we always had black forest as a tradition. But now I go for anything chocolate. Chocolate mouse cake was a trend with my kids for many years. But now we make the request cake ourselves. So cheese cake or carrot has been made. Link to comment

Carrot is not my favourite, but everything else is OK. Link to comment

dabateman Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Sorry Stefano! I just realized I didn't actually say the words happy Birthday to you. Well then following a page from Alice in Wonderland, I very happy unbirthday to you today. Link to comment
Stefano Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Also got my driver's license today. So everything is going right. Two intense days. Link to comment
dabateman Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Excellent, I think I was in grad school when I got my full driver's license. But then living in major cities, didn't need one. Also not having a car also delayed that desire. We have a multi year process to get a full G license in Ontario. Link to comment
