anybody shot blacklight with the AF100?

[jmarkham]

We recently shot some blacklight footage with the AF100 and the blacks were all
gray-ish. We did AWB and ABB several times and it didn't seem to help.

Very odd.

Backlit scenes is one time different lenses make a huge difference, some handle it well others very badly.

The Af100 has a flat filter in front of the imager that can cause reflections back and forth from the rear element in the lens if it does not have good coatings.

The best thing to do is try different lenses and play with the lights using a good monitor to see the results. Flags really help as well.

I will be able to post in about three weeks. The post on this video is very extensive. It is a very big act (big budget). The wheels turn slowly as the thing bounces between the label, post, and the artist and then starts the journey over and over again.

Try a Wratten 2A filter. (google: uv photography barrier filter)

3.2 preset would be best to maintain the "blacklight look", wouldn't it?
