Making a start in Ultra Violet Fluorescence photography – 2

This is a second set of photos from my start in Ultra Violet Photography. I show the samples of UV fluorescence with comparisons of the samples in normal colour. I start first with the remains of an old cucumber – this I ‘cultivated’ especially for this exercise – it wasn’t found and the back of the fridge!:

One thing that was apparent was the need for cleaning the samples of dust much of which is not apparent in normal lighting…

Below I show the two photos side-by side with a ‘slider’.

Finally a blend of the two images that combines the colours:

An interesting exercise – I am learning a lot with much more to learn.
