People in UV - Duisburg, on the edge of the action

[Kai]

These are my first street pictures in the UV from summer this year.

Taken with a Canon 6D-FS, manual focus lens 28mm 2m fix, ZWB2 plus QB21, 3200-6400 ASA, 1/30 - 1/60s, f 8, WB on PTFE, color change by approx. 170°, color enhancement.

All to good effect.

Interesting variation on the basic UV approach. The colour scheme obviously can be tweaked according to personal taste. We are probably not seeing deep into the UV range, but the penetration suffices to differentiate people using sun lotion or not.

 

Do note that people are entitled to privacy under EU regulations even in the streets. Some stock agencies would not accept this kind of footage without model permits.

I like the colors, I'd totally take a dip in fountain of gold

I like the artistic approach. I've tried a few with a Sony a7R + B+W403 + BG39, with similar results, but summer sunshine and subjects/victims are slipping away.

The combination of camera, lens and filter allows light to pass between 350/360 nm and 395/400 nm with the following colors:

Interesting photos. Yeah, in the US, street photographers are protected by the first amendment (plus several famous cases that made it to the Supreme Court). It’s interesting to me that Britain, formerly an EU member, has such an intense system of public policing cameras while simultaneously everyday street photographers can’t sell their photos.

The thing I notice most about these are not a single mask. Groups of people kind of close together,  especially in the last photo in the background. 

Maybe I have been isolated for a long time, but just surprised that this looks like 2019 to me.

Yes - that is remarkable. July 2021! Masks were compulsory in the museum but outside the sun was shining and it was summer ... :)
Hardly anyone felt the need to wear a mask.

A month later in Normandy things looked different. At least in the market there was a mask requirement outside. Outside of the market, some wore a mask, some didn't.
