I was thinking that exact thing 5 minutes ago.
No, you are right I did not catch, nor could you catch the UV glow on standard equipment, I think?
Do you mean they emit a UV glow, or they would be fluorescent under a UV light?
I have a blacklight, so I might try some shots. I am positive under UV, they would glow brite white not green.
I think what I am doing is just a result, of light cast and refraction from the skin.
Though my lighting setup is a tad unusual, 20w tungsten / camera onboard flash and settings set to tungsten light, I don't think would allow it's UV glow to be captured.
Thanks David, you have given my more to think about.
