I didn't consciously pick this new set of dice because they might be fluorescent, but they were anyway. Maybe my subconscious took over.

A set of small dice on a laptop. The dice are a marbled mix of blue, green, purple, and clear resin. They are laying next to a fountain pen which is similar in appearance, but mostly blue and not clear in the cap.Same as the previous photo but under UV light. The green parts of the dice are glowing brightly. The pen cap is glowing blue. The ink in the pen is dimly glowing green.Photo of just the dice under UV together in a clump. The green parts are glowing even brighter.

Fluorescent Friday : Hurghada Departure

Some creatures underwater have the ability to absorb light and re-emitted at a longer wavelength.

Coral, Red Sea, Egypt

Using a yellow filter scuba divers can observe this awesome aspect of nature. The filter can be attached to a divers mask. Underwater photographers and videographers will also need to add a yellow filter to their camera lens to capture the light spectrums.

These underwater photography were taken during night dives in the Red Sea, off the coast of Egypt.

Here are more details about my camera set-up and approach to capturing fluorescent images during night dives.

Fluorescent Friday

https://youtu.be/Boz2sfnyIFo

I have always been intrigued by how and why some creatures fluoresce above and below the waterline.

Biofluorescence is the absorption and reemission of light from living organisms. Fluorescent organisms have proteins built into their skin or other tissues that absorb energy from light and reemit it as a different colors. This results in a wonderful display of color.

In the ocean, blue light penetrates through the water, where some organisms absorb that energy, and then emit light at a lower energy in colors such as green or red. This article from Dive Photo Guide dives into the science of fluorescence as it applies to underwater photography.

Scuba divers need special yellow filters to see the reemitted light. In addition to my normal camera set-up, I used a blue light, and yellow filters on my camera lens and on my mask. Below are the additional items I used to capture the video above.

  • Sealife Sea Dragon Mini Fluoro Light
    • This light came with yellow filter for a scuba diver’s mask.
    • Since this was my first experience with fluoro diving and I was not sure how it would work. I selected a lower end mini model and was pleased with the results. However, if I have the opportunity to upgrade, I would go with the higher model that has a wider beam range. For non-photographers/videographers, the mini would suit them well.
  • Tiffen Yellow Filter
    • The yellow barrier filter blocked any reflected excitation light and transmit only the fluorescence from the subject.
    • Basically, allowed me to record exactly what I was seeing through the mask filter.
    • It’s a wet lens, so I just attached it to the front of my underwater camera housing.

I shot this video off the house reef at Six Senses Laamu Resort during our first night dive there. The Laamu Atoll is located in the Maldives.

Overall, I was amazed by the color captured during the night dive. I will plan to try again on my next night dive. Hopefully, I can schedule the night dive around coral spawning. This is the time when corals colonies reproduce by releasing their eggs and sperm all at the same time. However, with a global pandemic, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to coordinate this year.

Ripped out the #fluorescent lamp & upgraded to #led. Also removed the #reproduction #marquee to swap it with my signed #oem #tmnt marquee. The repro marquee colors just looked cheap & wrong. #arcade #restoration

A research team has developed a probe that allows to visualize how individual droplets break down inside living in real time. The probe changes its fluorescence properties depending on the composition of each droplet

"Incandescent light sucks! It's natural light or nothing."

Buddy, have I got some bad news for you about the source of your natural light.
