[Theme] Pictorial UV
« on: February 07, 2016, 22:08:33 »
Ultraviolet photographs in the pictorial sense.
I don't know how many people are shooting UV here these days, but feel free to contribute.

Inglewood Oil Field with a D70 and the 50mm el-nikkor if I remember correctly.

I know many people believe UV never can be 'artistic'. Perhaps they hold that view because they never tried?

I freely admit most of my UV work is targeted at the dreary (and to most viewers, dull)  scientific kind of stuff, which makes breaking out of the frame once in a while just the more necessary. In fact, just like in any other field of photography.

UV can sometimes be Unpleasant Visions. Surface structures are brought forward.

Such is the power of photography.

This UV capture of the Venus Transit 2004 is a long-standing favourite. It conveys the sheer power intensity of the Sun. In fact, so intense the camera (D70) literally was set on fire. This is its last message to the world before I had to quickly remove it from the mirror lens it was attached to and quench the flames.

Another of my earlier UV landscapes. This is the Snøhætta range of Central Norway. Late autumn when the colours of the alpine landscape really changes into the most outlandish colours. Here helped further by the UV treatment of course.

That is the nicest creative rendering I have seen of Svånåtind an Bruri !
Great colors in the foreground too. The ridge up to the peak is an interesting climb.

Here is another favourite, entitled "Hidden Menace"

Sometimes you are just lucky with what happens inside the frame during a 30 sec exposure:D

A whole new world opens to me.... Art of the 21st century. It's not just the intensity of the colors or the contrasting colors. Compositions, colors, subjects are all in sync.  I kept scrolling up and down.
