Nikon D3200 (internal Baader U "Venus" filter) with the Coastal Optics 60 mm f/4, SB-140 flash for hand-held UV work in the field. A Nikon Df with the 125/2.5 APO-Lanthar is seen on the ground. This is for the visible reference shots.

I use the shorter Coastal lens on this DX camera mainly to match (roughly) the field of view of the FX reference camera with a 105 or 125 lens.

In the last shot showing me with Richard, I'm using a broad-spectrum D600 and the UV-Nikkor 105/4.5 lens.

Perhaps it would be even funnier if you know that that particular chain of stores sells religious literature...

That's a typical Bjørn R pose - low on the ground photographing flowers :)
Here he is capturing the Polemonium boreale, a plant that in Norway is found only in the north-east corner on a graveyard in a small, remote fishing-village far north in Norway.

I wonder the purpose of the pop-up flash in this case...

Is the "Coastal fynbos community" a double-exposure image?

Akira: a pop-up flash sometimes can be useful for close-ups to provide a little addtional 'bite', in particular if one is shooting backlit subjects.

The coastal fynbos image was created with the 200/2, a lens eminently suited for multiple exposures.

Bjørn, thanks for the tip and the disclosure of the shooting info.  I just wonder if the pop up flash could light the subject (even just as an additional effect) properly from such a vivinity for the AOV of 90mm equivalent lens.  I'm going to experiment with that for myself.

Local fishermen at Hout Bay. Boats had massive double 150 Hp outboard engines, went far off shore, and nobody apperently cared for any safety measures so each vessel was overcroweded and no life vests etc. They catch 'snoek', a large mackereel-like fish that is very popular in this part of the world.
