in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Many say that nature is the best artist. Perhaps, it is true. But, to see and convey the beauty of her creations in details, also need a talent. Craig Burrows is definitely endowed with such talent. He is professional of macro photography.

Not so easy to surprise modern viewers with small details of familiar objects. So in the latest project, Craig decided to take a slightly different approach, he turned to science.

Familiar flowers looks completely unrecognizable under the rays of a UV lamp. All this thanks to the unique ability of plants to absorb light and emit it back – Fluorescence.

Typically, the camera lens blocks ultraviolet radiation. However, Burrow’s photos taken with led light with a certain wavelength that lets you see UV and infrared light. As a result, he received a truly cosmic colors of the earth plants.

Such projects demonstrate that humanity is on the right way. We have not abandoned science for the sake of spirituality, and not put spirituality above science, they go hand in hand, expanding our horizons.
