Ukrainian meadows and pastures

Few shots done last year in my homeland, either with Kyoei 35mm F/3.5 or with Focotar-II 100mm F/5.6 lens, Baader U2 filter and full spectrum NEX-5N. To view full-size images use right click -> view image.

These are excellent evidence that UV can play a part in landscape photography.

 

Care to share information of the flora depicted? Apparently there are some flowers here with a great deal of UV reflectivity (pictures 2,4).

[Alex H]

Just some ordinary Malva (2) and Senecio (4). There is also Hypericum (1). Floral photography was not my priority and I did not have necessary literature and internet access to make proper identification.

Thanks anyway. Interesting how these flower stand out in the landscape.

Some good work Alex.

UV landscapes are tough, I think, but you have captured a nice subtlety of tone with these minimalist (of a sort) compositions. So it all hangs together quite well after the eye adjusts to the UV-ness.

Thanks Andrea,

 

Minimalistic it is. The last one, with the horse and Senecio is my favourite of all UV-landscapes I have shot so far.

Very nice Alex, #3 appeals to me the most, it seems so familiar yet a world away.
