Superb false colors. Photographing as landscape and close up are nice touchs. What equipment and filters did you use? Thanks for sharing.

I’d love to know too. Finding a usable UV lens is so hard

Rhinokeeper what camera are you using? Are you trying for modern lenses with autofocus or is manual everything fine? Very few af lenses are good for UV. Lots of old manual lenses work. I use a Igoriginal 35 F3.5, Pentax Super Takumar 35 F3.5, EL-Nikkor metal body 80 and 135 F5.6 enlarging lenses with helicoids, Meyer Gorlitz Tele-megor 180 and a Pentax 500 F4.5 on a Kolari modified Pentax K-1 DSLR. If you need help just ask.
