Capturing colors under UV Light

[WDKegge]

Hey Reef2Reef, question for all you pro photographers out there.

I've had good luck and honed my skills when it comes to taking pictures under blues, and daylight but for the life of my cannot capture pictures under strictly UV.

My sps shows colors that just don't show up under blue, I have tried several different methods of filters, settings, and post processing but I can't seem to find that magic that gets me even remotely close to capturing what I am seeing in person.

Does anyone have any tips?

Filters are very helpful. I use Orphek brand but coral view and Nesto also good

I have a full set of professional camera filters and none of them do a good job of representing the coral under UV

When I say UV I'm not talking blues, I'm talking strictly purple ultraviolet.

Yellow or orange lens best for purple
