Aaron E. Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I took the photos in this tryptich of lichens (and figs) on a Ficus variegata tree in Singapore a year ago. I was using a full-spectrum Nikon Z5 and a Nikon VR 28-300mm lens (the image is at 28mm). Filters were KolariVision IR-850, UV/IR cut hot mirror, and UV bandpass. I know that's a really suboptimal lens for UV, but I hadn't gotten the Steinheil I use now and I was just learning my way around the Z-series camera. Nonetheless, the difference between the IR and the UV is really striking. The lichens are invisible in the IR but positively glow in the ambient-light UV image. Anyway, the triptych is being exhibited in the juried group exhibition "Field Guide" in St. Louis at the Intersect Arts Center from Feb. 6 - June 29. If you happen to be in St Louis, check it out!

Doug A Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Really interesting images. The difference between IR and UV is substantial. Your enlargement must look amazing. Good luck with the show. Thanks for sharing, Doug A Link to comment
