Hi,
does anyone has experience with taking bird UV photos in field? Do you know about scientific articles that would use UV photography in field? I only found studies conducted on museum specimens. I wonder whether field UV photography was already used in field condiditions and what equipment would be needed? Thank you!
Thank you, Ondra. My appologies for very late answer.
I want to assess visual pattern and would like to know if UV should be taken into account when assessing visual pattern.
I know you can do UV photography, but I was told that you need quite long exposure times and hence the technique has been used mainly on museum items up to date not on living animals.
Your links are very useful! Thank you!
Hi guys!
Nicely descripted ! Silicon is generally sensitive to UV light, however, there are more factors need to be considered. For example construction of the chip (e.g. size of the cells) or sometimes processing in camera even though you are photographing in RAW. You need to consider wavelength of UV? what is the wavelength of the light which is considered as biological effective by your clade - species? You will not detect UV light with 350 nm by any chip, forget it. Just think about some transition of light which need to be described in detail.
