Saludos desde Barcelona Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Leonard Taupier Enviado el: viernes, 15 de diciembre de 2006 21:46 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: [Leica] Flowers in Ultra-Violet The flowers were exposed with Ultra-Violet light from a black light in an otherwise totally dark room. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/LeonardT/UV/UV_1.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/LeonardT/UV/UV_2.jpg.html> Please comment on what you think. The camera was a D2X at 20 sec exposure Lens an El-Nikkor 105mm f5.6 at f11 mounted in a Nikon PB4 bellows with a homemade F to LTM adapter Focus was in incandescent light. Exposure black light only, using a hot mirror filter and a B+H 403 UV bandpass filter. No attempt was made to color correct. The 403 filter is a nearly black, red filter. I tried the same setup using a D200 and even with a 6 stop exposure increase no image was produced. Totally black. As a retired engineer I can't stop experimenting. I just think it's fun. Hope you enjoy it. Len _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
