[Leica] Flowers in Ultra-Violet

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Leonard,

Wow! Very, very interesting, and very creative too. None of that IR stuff 
;-. 
You must be near the limit of the camera's response. I guess that the D200 
just 
doesn't have the response in that part of the spectrum.

Have you looked at the response curves for the camera?

Any idea where in the UV the picture was taken?

What happens if you don't use the filter? Dies the extra light make much 
difference?
