I try to reproduce the feel of the moment I took the picture. Emotional fidelity. The original version is quite "there"

Ah. I see it now. You need a photograph to establish the scene first. On its own, as you have discovered, people tend to get the wrong idea.

UV sunflowers. Taken with my old workhorse, Nikon D3200 with built-in Baader-U filter and the Coastal 60mm f/4 APO lens. Not high UV levels on a hazy day, yet I was able to get the shot with a hand-held camera.

That's the problem we all face: getting the communcation across to any receivers. Humans are not telepathic and our sensors need external stimuli.


sometimes a photo is not the right medium to express

Same sunflowers as last picture, however this time done in IR with the Laowa 11mm f/4.5. The wide angle in conjunction with IR filtering makes for a dramatic sky.

Interestingly, some flower head features are not IR-bright, which is unusual. The disk florets are IR dark, a parallel to the bracts (phyllaries) of dandelions which also appear IR black. The IR-dark phyllaries are seen on the sunflower heads too.

Birna, there's something weird in the version I'm viewing

A border between sharp and unsharp.
Almost like processing hadn't finished????
