Adrian Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hello,I am a full time freelance natural history and botanical photographer. I have published 10 books on various aspects of digital imaging including "Digital Plant Photography (Bloomsbury Publishing) last June.I 1994 I completed Master degree by research at Salford University, trying to show how insects "see" flowers using film and UV and tri-chromatic filters. I am now trying to carry on the work with digital cameras. At the moment I can't justify a converted DSLR, so am using a Nikon D70 with an old El Nikkor enlarging lens, and a Baader U filer. Results are improving. Focus shift is "erratic"! have also got very interested in UV fluorescence of plants, particularly Nepenthes carnivorous plants, where the results are nothing short of spectacular!I look forward to talking with like minded photographers!

nfoto Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome - you have certainly arrive at an appropriate site on the world wide web. The UV-induced fluorescence of your Nephentes looked amazing. I'm sure we all are anxious to see more of your work. Asking questions is a great way of integrating into our small, yet thriving, UV community. Link to comment
Johan Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hello Adrian! I registered here a few weeks ago myself. I am... about 20 minutes down the road from you, and my son is at school at CLFS in Ashtead. I am completely new to UV myself but would seem to share a similar interest to yourself (uv fluorescence). Maybe we should consider pooling resources or at least work together for the benefit of both in some way. I am more of an insect focus stacker myself with little experience with flora rather than fauna. Link to comment

Alex H Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Welcome I 1994 I completed Master degree by research at Salford University, trying to show how insects "see" flowers using film and UV and tri-chromatic filters. Would be interesting to see some pictures from yout theses. Link to comment
DaveO Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Hello Adrian, I think it would be interesting if you could compare images taken using film with those in digital false-colour. I sometimes read things written about film-based UV images of Australian native flowers which don't seem to quite gel with what I see with digital equipment. I look forward to more of your work.
