cazza132 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Taking UVIVF to the broad realm is difficult given the limited power of the light source. Here are a few that I've done in the last few weeks. First up is UVIVF grass tree (Xanthorrhoea): Grass tree illuminated by UV light just before dawn. This is a single 15 minute exposure. You may notice Orion to the top right leaving star trails with the long exposure. Jupiter is the bright one to the left. Canon R5 (full spectrum converted) Sigma 14mm f1.8 Art + UV/IR cut filter 365nm UV torches. ISO 200, f4.0 The second and third: Full spherical 360 degree star trails panorama with UV blacklight illumination at Bald Rock National Park (New South Wales, Australia). Two cameras with fisheye lenses were used on a single tripod to record the sky and foreground over a period of 2 hours. The foreground was then light painted using high powered 365nm UV torches. The red, orange and yellow spots are patches of lichen that fluoresced brilliantly under UV illumination. The Milky Way can be seen through the comet style star trails to the opposite side to the boulders. The red/pink trails are emission nebulae. Canon R5 (full spectrum) + Canon 6D (full spectrum) with HEUIBII filters. Samyang 8mm f3.5 lenses used. Link to comment

Foxfire Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 That is beautifule! I wonder, what UV/IR cut filter did you use? Link to comment

A Kolari UV/IR cut filter behind the lens was used in an EF to RF filter slot adaptor (also Kolari) to attenuate UV direct and UV induced infrared fluorescence. Link to comment
Foxfire Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 @cazza132 Thanks! Its that recently i came to an idea that for UViVF the UV/IR cut would be better than just a UV-cut. Because of the possible UViIR fluorescence that might occur. So i was looking about the Baader UV/IR cut filter... The pictures: something like this should be done when there's an aurora in the sky, maybe i will go to look for these :) Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 WOOHOO !! Love these, Cazza. Thanks for showing us what can be UViVF-photographed on a starry night. ((I added a link to the NP.)) Link to comment
Stefano Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Beautiful images. The star trails in the last one look similar to the magnetic field lines of a loop of wire. Link to comment
Akira Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Very creative and beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Link to comment
otoien Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Fantastic use of UVIVF, the light trail from the near- to the far tree really helps the composition in the first one. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 These are AMAZING!! I've tried some UVIVF light painting at night but this is way beyond anything I've managed. I love the inclusion of the star trails. Link to comment
Lou Jost Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Absolutely stunning and original! I'm speechless. Link to comment
OlDoinyo Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The panorama is quite an achievement, especially with a night time exposure. Your pole star (Sigma Octantis) is not very bright; it does not show too prominently on the starwheels. That alone was a giveaway that this was taken in the southern hemisphere. Nicely done light painting. I have been wanting to try this myself but have not encountered much interesting foreground material. Is that a green laser beam in the distance? Link to comment
KhanhDam Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 some of the best uv images I've seen very artistic. thanks Link to comment
photoni Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 You've done a great job Link to comment
Doug A Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Stellar images, that are off the charts. The star trails would make incredible murals. Are you light painting with Nero size torches are something more powerful? Thanks for sharing, Doug A Link to comment
Wayne Harridge Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Really impressive images - fantastic! Link to comment
