Hi Leong

The shutter speed was 1/100s or 1/160s, however the images were all lit by flash, so the shutter speed wasn’t a factor in determing the exposure. If you’re relying on sunlight, the shutter speed is fine for IR photography. However, for UV photography using sunlight, then even at high ISO and with a lens that passes a decent amount of UV (like the Fuji 27mm) you can’t really get a hand-holdable shutter speed. Using a tripod may help, but it depends on whether your subject is moving or not. For things like flowers, I find they get blown about too much in the wind and will end up blurry. So I use a flash that outputs UV rather than relying on sunlight for the light source, and then that lets me use a faster shutter speed.

Yes, all the images were taken with the full spectrum modified Fuji X-M1.

Regards

Dave

All pictures taken with the modified Fuji X-M1?
