KaJashey Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The last blackberry flower falling apart and some green unripe blackberries taken earlier this summer. Camera was a Nex 5. Filter was a La La U by UVIRoptics. Lens was an adapted Nikon AF-S 35mm DX ƒ/1.8 at ƒ8 or so. 2 second exposure Iso 200. Edit was with photo ninja. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Those were green, unripe berries? Yet they are very UV-absorbing. The UV-absorbing anthocyanin pigment which gives the ripe berries their dark color must be underlying the green surface? I am wondering how that all works. Must go read up. Interesting also that the blackberry surface also produces UV specular reflections. Link to comment
nfoto Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Andrea, Rubus species typically have a thin waxy cuticula on their (false) fruits. Thus they are prone to specular reflections also in visible light. Link to comment
