Do I need special camera preparation or elements to shoot under UV light?

1 Answer

Answer :

Shutter speed. Slowing the shutter speed will allow you to get the effect you’re looking for since it’s allowing more light to come in. What you’ll want to do is turn off all source of light but the black light and keep the illumination from the black light out of the shot. Only use the glow from the actually picture and have a low shutter speed. I’m not sure what shutter speed, but I do know of a a person on fluther that has some photography experience I’ll recommend this thread to.
