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.

多彩太陽; So, I've tried UV again with the new sunflower in the garden (and it is huge compared to the rest which gave hope to some details). There were many ways to merge the UV with the visible-color image, but I picked the most basic one: Replacing the Blue channel of the normal shot with the Blue channel from the UV. From that point, I worked my way up to enhance the colors, which took me more than one hour to do!
