紫外光攝影 Ultraviolet Photography Reveals the Unexpected Fluorescence of Flowers

花葉受紫外線照射後，會發出螢光，蟲可以比我們人看到更多花朵的樣子。可能遠遠就能夠看到花在那裡，對蟲來說，花會發光

self-proclaimed “photon-packing mixed photographer” Craig Burrows continues to captivate with his unique series of floral illuminations. Captured using cameras modified for ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence, the fanciful photographs showcase Burrow’s ability to turn ordinary flora into beaming blooms.

To create each dazzling depiction, Burrows imaginatively employs a filtered 365nm LED light and a special lens (found, he explains, in “kits typically used for crime scene investigation”). This Technicolor treatment brings out the flower’s natural fluorescence, as it only conveys ultraviolet and infrared light. This results in an ethereal aesthetic, making everything from pollen and petals to stamens and stems spectacularly glow and glisten.
