Hello from Sunshine Coast, Australia

Hi, my name is Troy.

 

I have been using a full spectrum modified Canon 6D for almost 10 years for astrophotography, infrared landscapes etc.

 

UVIVF has captured my attention (along with UV direct and uv induced infrared fluorescence) more recently.   I have been following this site for quite some time and have found it very informative.  Thank you for accepting me as a member, and I look forward to contributing with my experiences across the spectrum.

 

A few pics:

Welcome Troy, Great shots! Love your Rho Ophiuchi and Darkhorse region of the MilkyWay core.

Love these!

Impressive images Troy, I'd be interested to hear what filtration & post processing you have applied.

Thank you for the kind words folks! Sorry for the lack of image info. Hope the following addresses most of that:

• The first two are infrared shots taken using an Astronomik 642nm-842nm Clip In IR bandpass filter.
• The Milky Way image is a multipanel mosaic using a IDAS HEUIB filter.
• The lily flower shots were taken using an Astronomik 'L' UV/IR cut clip in + Hoya X0 for the UVIVF shot (1st), ZWB1+BG38 for the UV shot (2nd), and Astronomik 'L' UV/IR cut clip in filter for the visible light shot (3rd).
• The grass trees under blue sky is a dual band UV and predominantly IR using a B+W 403 filter.
• The lakeside Milky Way tree shot is a night time infrared shot taken using an Astronomik 642nm-842nm Clip In IR bandpass filter.
• The succulent in the UVIVF shot fluoresced strongly red under 395nm light. Tonic water was added and fluoresced cyan. An Astronomik 'L' UV/IR cut clip in filter + a Tiffen 8 Yellow 2 long pass filter.  The 395nm light source was filtered using a BG3 filter.

Hope I got everything there.

These are all inspiring.  I have been so busy lately that I haven't had the time to shoot a single UV photograph in months. 

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome, Troy!
After this debut pictures, I am particularly looking forward to not only technically exciting but above all aesthetically outstanding photos :)
