My UV-Nikkor 105mm finally at work again...

My "work horse" lens at work again after quite a break....

A Rudbeckia hirta from my balcony shot with the trusted UV-Nikkor 4.5/105mm at f11 using a modified Xenon Studio flash as well as some special filters.











Human Vision, reflected UV, simulated Bee and Butterfly Vision and a Quadriptych of all...

It is always so interesting to go down those trips with you.

  Thanks for sharing it!

Welcome back, Klaus!  I'm curious about what you have found lately with your seemingly well-seasoned setup.

Haven't done much due to Covid restrictions (glad I never got it though!!), beginning again... ;-)

The lens is such a great performer in seemingly all wavelengths, extremely well defined images, even in this web representation!

Yep, indeed Erik, cannot agree more. Hence why I always have several here, down to just two now...

Glad to know you have been staying safe!  Am looking forward to your new findings!

These should be printed big and shown in a top gallery: much better aesthetically than most of what is shown normally and with real scientific value too. Thanks for sharing these beauties.

Thanks! You mean something like this...



Such has been done in a few museum exhibits already...

Good to see your work again, Klaus !

[Fons Baerken]

Congrats Klaus!

Who did the printing of the images?
It is ink on paper?
Was it perfect first time? :-)

[Erik Lund]

Classic display of the images, nice shot

[Dr Klaus Schmitt]

Thanks guys!

Those prints were done on alu-dibond, I have done that and museums have done that, too.
