Dette er hva som gjør UV fotografering så utrolig spennende! For hvordan ser blomsten ut i UV i forhold til hva vi mennesker ser? Vi ser bekkeblommen som helt gul, mens insekter ser en større variasjon, og denne er virkelig flott i UV! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: […]
Selv om denne blosmten er kritthvit i det synlige lys for oss mennesker, er den ganske så mørk i UV, og spesielt i sentrum, der den er gul i synlig lys. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/125 s
Dette er vårens store overraskelse hva anngår forskjeller i UV og synlig lys! Lyset vi mennesker oppfatter gjør denne blomsten altoverveiende ensfaget gul. Men i UV er den fargefordelt som man oftest ser i Asterales – mørkt i sentrum og lyse kronblad. Denne tette engen av vårkål må være som et fyrverkeri av invitasjoner for […]
Så krittende hvit som hvitveisen er i det lyset mennesket kan se, er den stikk motsatt i UV lys av en eller annen grunn. Muligens er dette som fyrlykter for de vårbestøvende insektartene! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1600 Shutter speed: 1/125 s
No special patterns appear in UV for this flower! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
Very dull in UV compared to the many color variations in visible light. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
The yellow center of the flower is dark in UV, and the white petals are also quite dark. In UV this small flower appears prominent against the greyness of the background seen here. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
Not particularly colorful in visible light and even less so in UV – all dark as it is. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
Dark center opposed to the all-yellow appearance in visible light – a typical Asteraceae! Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
Hypericums are beautiful in UV light, as they are not uniformly colored, and this species is no exception. This species forms impenetrable thickets dotted with flowers, that seem pruned by an expert, but neither goat nor human have anything to to with this amazing growth! Please help me identify it – leave a comment 🙂 […]
Yet another Convolvulaceae with identical color in UV light! I have yet to encounter one, no matter ho many different colors in visible light, that is not the same in UV! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
The tiny flowers are dark in UV light compared to the mellow cream in visible light. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
No surprise in color distribution in UV light compared to visible light for this species – brighter center compared to the darker outer. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
The flowers of this giant of hypericums are dark in center in UV, compared to the all-yellow in visible light. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/10 s
What’s interesting with this landscape view of the bottle tree, is that the flowers appear same color in UV as the lichen on the rocks! Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/4 s
Appears much duller in UV compared to visible light. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Very interesting in UV, as the flowers have more variations in color than in visible light in which it appears uniformly orange.. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
White in visible light but quite dark in UV, and stands out in an otherwise dull/grey background in UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Visiting Socotra is like going back to another time and even to another planet entirely. When visiting the only dragonblood tree forest on the island, you are surrounded by trees so unlike anything alive on Earth today, that you simply cannot wonder if you’ve gone back to prehistoric times. To emphasize the weirdness of the […]
No surprise for this Asteraceae – dark in the center opposed to all yellow in visible light. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Yet another species with very dark flowers in UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
This one was a surprise in UV all dark as it is, except for two tiny openings in the center. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Very prominent against dark leaves and the rocks in UV. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Almost same color in visible as in UV (although UV light is only an approximate and subjective projection, it is after all invisible to humans!), but the brighter center in visible is dark in UV, making it blander in UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Mostly white in visible light but dark in UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Brighter in UV than in visible light, but the center is less prominent and the yellow stamens are very dark. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Quite dark in UV and very prominent on the otherwise bright plant and rocks. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Bright in visible but quite dark in UV. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Nothing unusual in UV for this species. Please help me with positive id – leave a comment 🙂 Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
No surprises in UV, except that all the parts of the flower appear uniformly dark and that the brightest areas to us are the darkest of all. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
No surprises in UV light. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
A mesmerizing flower in shape, texture and color which is almost completely dark in UV. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
This flower is incredibly beautiful and one of two icons of Socotra, but in UV it has no surprises – ladd rather dark, and without any patterns not seen in visible light. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
No surprising patterns in UV for this one! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
As with most Asteraceaes also this one has a dark center in UV. Aperture: ƒ/5.6 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Very interesting in UV light, as in visible it is all brightly colored! Aperture: ƒ/5.6 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Although this flower has no pattern, or other UV specific advertising, I think it looks equally amazing in UV as in visible! It’s one of the most beautiful of Socotra’s flowers. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
I have yet to encounter one species of Convolvulaceae that is not like this in UV! Either multicolored, or one color in visible, but all the same in UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Also this plant holds no secrets in the flowers in visible light that is revealed in UV light. Aperture: ƒ/5.6 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Flowers are very dark in UV. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
As the petals were gone (I found none in bloom), this photo is more on the developing fruit than a true flower. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
This flower is more interesting in UV, as the veins and the center has a darker more pronounced color compared to the more or less all-yellow in visible light. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
What a surprise! In UV this bright flower is completely dark! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Bright yellow in visible light and very dark in UV! Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Another example of a yellow flower in visible light that is very dark in UV. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
A typical sight in UV for asteraceaes – same color in UV as in visible light, but very UV dark in the center. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
While bright yellow in visible light this flower is completely dark and non-reflective in UV light.Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Much more uniform in color in UV than in visible light – the white bands are missing completely. Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
No surprising patterns or colors in UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Also this species is dark in UV with no pattern or markings that should suggest advertising to certain pollinating insects in UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 800 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
No unusual patterns in UV light. Aperture: ƒ/11 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
Perhaps equally beautiful in UV as in visible light? Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
Perhaps even more beautiful in UV as the dark center is contrasting the bright petals, opposed to all yellow we humans see? Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
Surprisingly this flower is very uniform in reflection in UV compared to the nuances in visible light. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/60 s
How dramatically different it looks in UV! In visible light (for us humans) it looks all yellow! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
Darker in UV compared to visible light. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
Darker in UV compared to visible light. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
No surprise patterns or reflection/absorbtion in UV compared to visible light. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
What a big surprise that this bright flower in visible light is completely dark in UV! Not even a lighter and a darker region. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
In UV the all-yellow we humans see, is not at all present. The size and shape of the dark centre can in many instances be a key component in identifying species that are very similar morphologically. Aperture: ƒ/5.6 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/80 s
Perhaps even more beautiful in UV? There is no mistake in the plant’s advertising to the pollinating insects – the tidbits are at the centre of the bright petals! Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 1000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
In UV I think this flower is as beautiful, perhaps even more than in visible light! The patterns, and shades are at least as intricate and detailed in UV as in visible light. That’s what I find so exciting – I never know from my visual standpoint whether or not the flower is a beauty […]
Not a striking difference in color in UV. In visible light the color is even more uniform – creamy white. But not surprisingly, the stigma in the center of the flower has a distinct darker color than that of the petals. The same goes for the anthers, the flat & oblong segments resting between the […]
In visible light this is a very dark flower, but in UV lots of light is reflected, and seen here as yellowish and without any darker areas around the center of the flower which is where the insects should be directed if the plant is to be pollinated. With this very unusual design I wonder […]
In the light we humans see, this flower is uniformly yellow, with a hint of variance in the centre. In UV this variance is very dark and different from the outer areas of the petals. This is what the pollinating insects see. It’s like the bull’s eye of a dart-board. If you come here you […]
I lyset vi mennesker oppfatter er åkergull ensfarget gul, og kan ligne veldig på berggull. Men i UV lys er det en stor forskjell, da det er mørkt i sentrum av blomsten. Disse plantene er svært små utgaver av arten, og vokser på grusveien til en av naboene. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: […]
I UV lys er den ensfarget gule skogsalatblomsten langt fra ensfarget, og det er det som gjør det så spennende med fotografering i UV lys, for da kommer de unike signaturene frem som vi mennesker ikke ser. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
I UV lys er kronbladene lyse og pollenknapper og tråder mørke. For menensket er UV kanskje en blek kopi av de nøyanser vi ser i vårt begrensete del av lyset, der oransje og hvit trer frem. Om vi kunne se UV i tillegg ville vært et spennende skue – heldigvis har vi teknologi som kan […]
Ingen overraskende mønstre eller farger i UV. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
Veikarsen ser nesten identisk ut i UV lys som i synlig lys, men pollenknapp, arr og dekkblad er mørke. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
UV signaturen til gjerdevikkeblomsten er egentlig ikke så ulik den i det lyset vi mennesker oppfatter – mørke årer på lys bakgrunn. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
For mine øyne er dette en helt gul blomst, men atter igjen kommer det spennende nøyanser frem i UV lys og spesielt rundt sentrum av blomsten. For mange vil dette kanskje se ut som et kunstnerisk uttrykk, der jeg har fremhevet kronbladet i et ellers mer eller mindre svart og hvitt miljø. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: […]
Ingen overraskelser i fargefordelingen i UV lys – like ensfarget som i synlig lys. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/125 s
Dette var en stor overaskelse! I UV er denne blomsten helt mørk i motsetning til i det lyset vi mennesker oppfatter, der den er lys, altså gul. Mange kurvplanter her mørke og lyse deler i bomsten, men hårsveven er kun mørk. Hvorfor? Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: NIKON D7100 Focal length: 105mm ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/125 […]
Ingen store overraskelser i UV lys – slik som eksempelvis potentillaer og skjermplanter, som ofte viser helt mørke områder vi ikke finner igjen i lyset vi mennesker ser. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Skjermsveven er en sikker matkilde til insekter til langt på høsten og jeg passer på å vanne de så de blir frodige og fulle av blomster. Som med så mange kurvplanter, er også denne arten veldig forskjellig i UV. Faktisk er den flottere i UV enn i det synlige lyset der den fremstår som ensfarget […]
Svært mørk i UV lys. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Dette er en krysning mellom rød og hvit jonsokblom, og i for mennesket det synlige lyset er blomsten rosa og hvit, mens den i UV er helt ensfarget. Det interessante er at både den helt hvite og røde jonsokblomsten er lik i UV. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Som mange gule blomster (slik vi ser de) er også prikkperikum mørk i sentrum i UV lys – pollenknappene er også mørk, og danner dermed en kontrast til den lyse bakgrunnen på kronbladene – viktig for insekter. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Ryllik er en kjent og kjær plante som vokser overalt i området, og står i blomst til langt på høsten. Den kommer i rosa variant også, men det snodige er at i UV er den i samme farge som vist her enten den er hvit eller rosa for det menneskelige øyet. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: […]
I UV lys er mureblomsten svært forskjellig fra det ensfargete gule vi ser. Ingen tvil om hvor godsakene er for de som flyr forbi og kan se i UV. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Veldig mørk i UV lys. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
I UV lys er smørbukken variert og spennende – kanskje mer enn i det synlige lyset? Det er spesielt humler og bier som besøker smørbukken, og er en siste stabile matstasjon før frosten for mange insekter. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/20 s
Mørk i UV lys – ingen av de lyse områdene i synlig lys er det i UV. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
Disse knøttsmå (2-3 mm store) blomstene er hvite i lyset vi mennesker ser reflektert, mens i UV er de intenst blålige, mens knoppene er svakt blålige når de nærmer seg blomstring. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
Disse ensfarget hvite småblomstene er mørke i UV lys, og denne nyåpnete blomsten er nesten like lite markedsførende til insekter som de grønne bladene. Denne blomsten er kommet lenger i sin blomstring og har mer blått i UV lys. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
For meg er fargen til blodstorkenebbens blomster helt uimotsåelig, men i UV lys ser det dramatisk annerledes ut. Her er det mørke nerver og senter av blomsten som skiller seg ut på en ellers lys blomst. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/160 s
Vi menensker ser kun en knøttliten del av det lyset solen bombarderer oss med, og for følblom sin del opplever vi den som helt gul. I UV lys er det mørkt i sentrum av blomsten og man kan skimte blått også. Så mens vi mennesker ser ensfarget gul, vil pollinerende insekter ser mange nøyanser. Camera: […]
