Glass Bowl Terrarium in UV Fluorescence

I recently tried to photograph the plants in a glass bowl terrarium under Ultra Violet fluorescence. I was quite pleased with the result although it took some effort to get there:

To do this I had to ‘paint with light’ using a small UV torch as the light source. Here are 2 of the photos used to create the final image. I show these using the comparison slider:

I think I am improving with this technique – I learn something new with every attempt!

I am an amateur photographer whose photography is mostly of gardens, nature and the rural environment. My specialities are close-ups, panoramic views, or a combination of both that I call 'Nearscapes'. I work mostly for my own interest having closed my business PM Studios Ltd.
