Proudly Blue! Been trying out UV light on various subjects and was surprised how the brown coloured abdomen of this spider glows brightly under UV.  Picture taken with internal camera LED light to lightly illuminate the surrounding so that it still looks normal and just the part that should glows, glows.

  1. Great photo! The lighting looks so natural that I didn't realize it was under UV until I read your description. Posted 3 years ago

        Am learning more about UV photography to get the results showing more 'natural' look, and pleasantly surprised with the results :)
