Those are very cool, Larry, especially 617, 618, 744. I prefer the
ones with the blackest backgrounds -- most contrast.
Thank you Bruce and Dan.
Are you documenting the event too? I'll be interested to see/hear how that goes.
Yes, I'll be photographing at Glow.

I don't expect to get quite as good of photos there because I'll have
much less control over the environment. I was pleased to learn that a
simple blue gel over my speedlight will actually work for getting photos
of fluorescent objects. It doesn't work as well as a black light gel
would, but I don't think those are available.

A trial run of an artistic collaboration that I'm working on with a friend.
Tonight's session was practice for an art event on Friday. Here are two of
my favorites:

If you're curious, here is the whole set:

Photographing under black light gave the highest contrast, and best
distinction between some of the colors. Photographing with a blue gel over
the strobes gave us more light and sharper photos, and also more light on
the skins. If I dialed my gelled speedlight down low in addition to the CF
black lights, I could mix the two effects, dialing in how much skin I wanted
visible.
A couple photos in the set show the results of another interesting project
that I'm working on with another friend, where she is knitting fluorescent
webbing into a net. I believe she actually used her arms for knitting
needles on these two pieces, to get the very loose web.
It was a fun evening, and the technique shows some interesting promise.
