Conservatory Plants in UV Fluorescence

For this set of photos I have moved indoors to our small conservatory. As before I have used the ‘painting with light’ method to illuminate the scene, bit-by-bit using a small UV torch. Here are the results using the comparison slider:

UV Fluorescence version

What still amazes me is the difference in how different plants fluoresce from blue-grey to deep red.

And here are a couple of different blending modes:

I am still learning from this exercise, I have one more scene to try then I’ll have a go at single plants.
