Houseplant Calathea in UV Fluorescence

Here is another houseplant that I have been photographing in ultra-violet fluorescence – A calathea. As before, I am showing this using a comparison slider so that both the daylight and fluorescence versions can be compared:

Next I show a composite image to show the two versions as a single image:

Finally, I like to show different ways of blending the images together. Here are 2 versions using a comparison slider:

Calathea blend 2

Another plant that is interesting to view under UV lighting…
