Mushroom in UV

[Doug A]

Pentax K-1 Kolari Vision modified full spectrum with EL-NIKKOR 80mm lens and extension tubes. Schott S8612 (2mm) and Hoya U360 (2mm). ISO 100 120 seconds at F11. Seems like ages since I had time to shoot and post here.  

 

Thanks for looking,

What does the bottom look like?

 

[Andy Perrin]

Interesting. Is that with a torch, Doug? If so, how does it look using sunlight?

[Doug A]

@dabateman this was taken months ago. I'll have to see if I have a shot of the bottom. If so it will be posted.

@Andy Perrinthis was shot with natural light, no torch. 

Thanks,

Doug A

Thanks Doug.

I have been noticing that the underside of mushrooms seems to be more interesting with fluorescence and fine structures than the tops.

Nice shot doug, I took my camera out yesterday for the first time in months yesterday, I missed photo snappin

@dabatemanhere is the underside. Wasn't much light underneath, so I went for a wide open, "artsy" shot. Didn't work out so well. No wonder it wasn't posted originally :). @Nateglad you had a chance to do some photography. I haven't had much chance either. Bought two Kolari filters that return the Pentax K-1 back to stock. I've taken about six pictures in three months. Hope to do more this year.

Thanks for Looking,

I disagree, I think it’s a good shot!

I like it and can see what looks like some dark textures. 

Thanks.

Thanks @Andy Perrin, @StephanN, and @dabateman. The original Raw file is dark. Might have raised the shadows too much and over compensated.  

 

 I changed lenses for the underneath photo. This is the Asahi Optical Company Super-Takumar 35mm F3.5. It may not record as deep in UV as the 35mm clone, but it is so much nicer to shoot with. Used same filters as above at ISO 1600 and F 3.5.

Oohhh, I really like that underside shot too. Turned out great!
-Helicoid adapter, or is that minimum focus distance on the Super Tak, or just large mushrooms??
