[9702] - 2025.

Posting late today; so much sleep needed (and still didn't get enough!)
Another UV shot from the archive today, but this time I've processed the image like I never did before actually, using the checkered card.
First, I've fixed the WB in the RAW editor (by picking a special profile first for IR images then picking the white balance point from the gray square at the bottom - second or third from left). In editing phase in PS, I've set the black and white points (using Curves or Levels) by choosing the black and white squares in the card as well - the look was "close" natural with all that green, but I need to try this often and test it.

[9703] - 2025.

Since I didn't make any new shots, I'm going back to last year's archive and just loved to share this "test" shot done with black filter (or UV pass filter), with my modified camera. This is how the image looks with Auto WB and without color correction in process; so simply put, this image wasn't touch and right out of camera.
In the center you see the checkered card, typically used to calibrate the colors as well as set the WB correctly, but this works with visible light images (or normal images that is) and not with UV shots - and could possibly work with infrared shots. Nevertheless, it can do some nice job correcting the colors, and honestly, the term "correcting" is not accurate here because we are dealing with UV and no real colors exist really.

Oxeye UV.

A humble trial I did back in March to shoot an oxeye flower (gone by now) in visible and UV and then tried to create what they commonly call "bee vision" image. I've included here the two separate shots for comparison; the normal (or visible light image) and the UV one.
Since both were taken handheld, there are some unmatched edges here and there of course. Despite using an IR block filter, the visible light image did have a red tint originally but it was easily fixed in post-process (my bad, because I was supposed to calibrate the WB already before shooting). As for the UV shot here, this is after a quick WB fix in post-process of course (the image was purple/red out of camera).
There are actually numerous ways to combine such images and typically I don't have a fixed workflow for this yet; I just try whatever makes a better visual impact, kinda.
