Frankfurt Botanical Gardens showing some of my works

[Dr Klaus Schmitt]

The Frankfurt Botanical Gardens, Germany ("Palmengarten") has asked for permission to show some of my multispectral works.

It was shot using special filters and the f4.5/105mm UV-Nikkor with a modified Xenon studio flash.

Here one example of what they got and will display mainly to school kids:

GAZANIA:

Welcome back, Klaus!

Gazania was one of the first flower I had ever shot in UV.  The equipment was much more crude than yours at that time.  So, I'm glad to see the "correct answer" now.

Thanks Akira,
I was very busy with private and business related things, so haven't done much photography the last months, actually years!!
Now after the recent move to a new home close to France (Strasbourg), I'm cleaning up my huge lens collections (as you made
have read here already) and am reconsidering taking multispectral photography up again...

I give away some of my works for educating kids + adults as I believe our natural world does need more awareness....
