UVIVF ground plants

[Doug A]

First UVIVF picture post. I live in the woods and this was taken about 15 feet from my front door. Didn't have all the equipment worked out yet. It is very difficult to aim ballhead mounted camera  and hold NEMO torch at the same time. I have since devised a hotshoe mount for the NEMO and added a Tiffen UV2 filter. Still adjusting to the yellow googles. Waved the NEMO around for 30 seconds at F11 ISO 100. Eventually I will try painting with two torches.

 

Stock Pentax 645Z with Pentax 645 A 120 macro lens. 

 

Comments welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Doug A

Apparently you get this spot-on from the get-go. That is good.

Great UVIVF colors. The shadows add some depth to the image.

Very pretty!

Very pretty photo!

I need to take my setup outside at night as well. All my UVIVF attempts inside have been thwarted by the copious amounts of fluorescent dust.

+1 to all of this - very pleasant color tones.

Super cool colors, I need to try this

Wow, a Pentax 645Z !!!!!! I wouldn't mind having one of those!

 

A very nice fluorescent composition.

nice picture, nice camera ...

i think it will be the last dinosaur medium format reflex.

Pentax is a fish that always goes against the grain :)

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. Can't wait to try more with UV flash and Tiffen UV haze 2A blocking filter.

 

 @photoniyou could be right. The Z is large, but so nicely balanced, and the dual tripod sockets are great. Size is relative, and I have a much larger SLR film camera.

Thanks,

Doug A
