Sempervivum "hens and chicks" multispectral

[Dr Klaus Schmitt]

My Sempervivum ("hen and chicks") plants were flowering due to that excellent hot weather we currentlyhave here in southwest of Germany.

Took photos in reflected UV and simulated bee and butterfly vision using an UV-Nikkor 105mm and a modified studio flash.

Just amazing how good this lens is.... glad I don't just have one of it ;-)

Splendid set and beautiful flower!

Do you use filters for the flash!

[Dr Klaus Schmitt]

No, only filters in front of the taking lens!

Such beautiful flowers. Glad to know you are having great weather.

No, only filters in front of the taking lens!

Why didn’t I think of that obvious solution!!!!
