The Carolina Jasmine flowers are bright yellow, during this time of year you will find the vines flowering all over the Southeast.
It would appear pollen is collecting on the outside petals, giving them a slight glitter. May be something else but thats my opinion.
Positioning the blacklight within a few degrees of the flower got amazing results.
Below the pictures I experimented cutting out infrared contamination the best I could. The articles and pages online state that cheap blacklights give off some infrared light. My LED blacklight would be considered cheap. So using my only Ultraviolet passthrough filter I tried out a B+W 403 nm filter.
The first thing I noticed is the shutter times drastically increased to about 2 minutes including noise reduction. Which was really boring honestly. I like the look of the photos, but I think going with no filter (full spectrum) looks alot cooler with blacklights. I think ill stick to full spectrum for my blacklight photos for now.
Hope you liked my photos, and protect yourself if your going to use blacklights. Read up on the importance of UV/IR protective glasses and protecting your skin from UV radiation when using UV and IR emitting light sources.
