black light
 
MY winter project will be using a mini table top studio with black lights.
I constructed a 40 inch stage out of black poster board and put that
on a card table. I searched the forum and received no results.
I will try all ISO and exposure setting . All suggestions are welcome.

Kevin,

I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here. What subject(s) are you intending to photograph, with what overall effect?

Try Googling for Ultraviolet photography

Another area of photography about which I know absolutely nothing! Assuming you have the right filters, light source, lens type and camera type (!) it looks like trial and error until you find what works. Do post the results, it sounds absolutely fascinating.

I used to use ultra violet light, (which I assume you mean by black light) for photographing printed circuit boards prior to etching. I have also used UV light for moth traps, but I dont suppose that's what you are intending to do ?

Thanks for the response.
Pumpkins and sunflowers are out of season now.I will start with marbles beads vases sea shells and the like.I have some glow paints and poster paper to accent the colors . Others advised setting large aperture openings and let the camera select the shutter speed. I will post a few for critique after getting the hang of it.
enjoy
Kevin
