Do you use a full spectrum camera? I had a Canon 60D modified for full spectrum. Do you have any recommendations on how I could shoot UV with this 60D?

I use a full spectrum camera. The Sigma cameras come with a user removable hot mirror. If you want to shoot UV you'll definitely have to convert it and the best thing to do is have someone like maxmax.com remove the bayer color filters seeing that they block most of the UV. You'll also have to remove the hot mirror. These conversions are generally somewhat spendy. The best and most affordable option to shoot UV/IR is to use a Sigma because there are no color filters and you can easily remove the hot mirror in the field.

So even my full spectrum camera still needs more internal adjustments to shoot UV?

Canons have very little UV response. The on chip color dyes generally absorb a lot of UV. Sigma does not have any dyes. The Nikon D70 is the only bayer camera I know of that has decent performance in UV, although significantly worse than Sigma. The Canon dyes generally prohibit any short exposures in UV. Think 2 minutes at f/1.4 in direct sunlight. You can always have maxmax remove the bayer filter for an arm and a leg.

sad but true, but it doesn't hurt to experiment.

Sorry for favebombing your gallery, you do absolutely gorgeous work! And so unique too, I've never seen photography quite like yours before.

Congrats on the well-deserved DD.

Thank you.
It's always good to see someone else who has a similar skillset and style.
I'm generally pretty picky when it comes to creative retouching and CG.
