Ultra Violet Test Shot

Here's an UW test shot using Ultra Violet Light.

1st attempt & result... ^^

All constructive comment & criticism are welcome.

Very cool.

How did you do it? With a UV lamp or with filters on your strobe and lens.

Many years ago, I made my own up from a booklet of filter samples. Here is one of the shots:

The commercial filters from NightSea are probably the best way to go - but I couldn't afford them - and actually found it was very simple to make my own (although I suspect with inferior performance). Always promised I'd do more of this, but haven't got round to dedicating night dives to it!

Thanks Alex...

I actually DIY an UV torch for this shot. I didn't use any filters since they are quite expensive & just like you, I couldn't afford them as well...

I didn't get to test it much, as I had to conduct courses on this trip. I would like to test it more and especially on more colorful marine lives. I like your shot and u should do more, since u might have some interesting ideas that I can use too...

Nice shot Alex, did you use a barrier filter?

Here's another test shot with slightly different setting...

Here's one, using the filter (UV filter from a shop, but do not know what kind)...

Night dive?? What's that??? Sounds familiar....

Thanks Mr.Mike... Yup, finally tried but would like to do more testing...

Well... The night dives actually saved me from getting drunk too early... U've seen what they can do in Lembeh before...

Alvin - It is when u go diving at night...

Ed.

Just curious... what settings do you have to use to get clean shots with that little light?
