here are some shots of ultra-violet flowers shot in tagaytay. My god the possbilities are endless shooting in this invisible spectrum. images rendered are ala alice in wonderland. for those of you versed and familiar with the work of dr. bjorn rorslett, you have an idea of how this can be obtained. all is needed is a Uv sensitive lens and imagination:)

all shots taken with rayxar-zeiss 75mm f1.1 enjoy

I love the IR series Bro.! :) mmmmmmmm... A Rayxar-Zeis f/1.1 OMG!?!?! Where on earth were you able to get one? The only person I know who shoots Psychedelic IRs like this is Bjorn R. :D... But he's in Norway :)

mmmmmmmm... Oh no, you didn't do what I think you did right?!?!?!

bro its actually ultra violet, i just added a ir filter for kicks but the color are really from the uv spectrum. as for the lens i was able to get one from..................hehe secret. its a hassle to post process though as most of the images are soft becasue of the extreme dof

Something different! Awesome shots, Carlo! I wonder how it looks like if you take shots other than flowers. :)

Thanks louie:) i used the same lens in these shots. not as interesting. these shots though are only possible with tabletop objects or even close quarter shooting due to the extreme shallow dof. there is no focus/aperture ring. so setting up the shots is of extreme importance.

Ohhh...the shots of the flowers definitely looks more interesting! Nevertheless, that's a pretty cool lens! :)

It looks like something that you can frame and hang on the wall.

@ zandy, or a twisted children's book. as for the printing im pretty sure some of them will come out a bit muted.
