Uv photography
Well I brought a black light to check the pattern on my albino motley and he looks so cool, but I just can't seem to photograph it properly
I know there's some great photography people on here and wondered if there was any tips to show it up properly on a photo so I can share it
Cheers Rich

Re: Uv photography
My Olympus TG-5 has a UV light setting.
Still comes out a little blurry...

Re: Uv photography
My BELs are Super Lessers with various Hets: I don't think I noticed a dorsal stripe on mine under UV. I will double check them later when it gets dark.
I am using a 'Lights of America' brand Black Light, it is 36" wide. It has a color temperature of 30,000K. I think I paid like $25 for it at Walmart like 6 years ago, it is bright enough to light up an entire room.
There are a bunch of minerals that will fluorescence under UV light. Corundum for example will fluoresce pink. I did a photo set of Red Corundum (Ruby) I successfully tumbled and polished paired with a GHI Fire ball python I hatched, one photo is in regular light and one under UV light. They will be posted eventually as photos #71A, and #71B in my Snakes and Stones thread. Keep in mind that some minerals only fluoresce under short wave UV light. Most black lights are using long wave UV...so it is good to plan accordingly.

Re: Uv photography
Thanks I will check out your lighting recommendations.
My BEL was supposedly a super lesser.
DO you have any crystals pictures else ware here that glow under UV. Ether way look forward to more pics. Be good to see some of them too. I have a big collection of crystals and minerals that glow under different UV. I used to have both UV a and B but not any more.
I have a good cabinet that I eventually plan to fill with my minerals and light with short and long UV

Cool glow in your dinosaur bone, never thought of trying my few bits. but i will now thanks to you.
yes whats that stripe about with our super lesers???
There are many kinds of fluorite, I have yellow, green and purple. Maybe its the type you have or the wavelength of UV as you said.
Maybe we could make a separate thread about minerals in UV, and try to work it out.
