I
recently had an opportunity to photograph some friends who had several
black light flourescent fixtures, (the kind used at parties) and UV
body paint, yarn and hair dye. I had just bought my Canon D20 digital
SLR and wanted to see how it would work with UV. The lights react well
with the paint etc. but everything else was very dark. I set my camera
to 800 ISO and used the Raw mode. My exposures were between ,5 seconds
to 4 seconds for the blur shots. Aperture was around f 4. The exposures
were still quite dark but when I converted the raw files to 16bit tifs
I was able to brighten and tweak the images to look better. Depth of
focus was quite shallow and many of the shots showed movement but I
was able to get a few usable images and the colors were fantastic. Below
are a few of those images. Some are realitively straight and some have
been manipulated in Photoshop CS2 with filters. Some of the filters
I used were Dry Brush. Cutout, Add Noise, Poster Edges, Difuse Glow
and Photocopy.
