blacklight shots
so, a friend of mine gave me a x-mas gag gift of a black light from spencers. ha-ha, but it's opened up a whole new world to my collection. i'm just dabbling and establishing some best practices, but i didn't see a dedicated blacklight thread here on sb, so here goes. my first attempts (excuse the filthy laundry room): strawberry crack killer: bwana slip n dip micro killer: slip n dip hujili's ghost:

Re: blacklight shots
Oh jeez, here we go!
I had been wondering why there wasn't a thread like this for a bit now. I've got to get me a new UV light!

Re: blacklight shots
That's awesome they glow so vibrantly! And orange! I have a lot of glow toys, primarily in my Secret Base. This would be pretty cool to do with them all.

Re: blacklight shots
Treblekicker- you can ask my wife, the very first thing I do when I get a new toy is shine a black light on it to see how it reacts. I love some of the results. Ill post a few shots after work. I've even painte customs with black lights in mind. I did a mantis years ago that was very drab looking in regular light, but was extra trippy under blacklight.

For anyone using color changing Dioder lights, the blue setting seems to have a similar effect, although not as powerful as a true blacklight... Great shots Kevin and Treble (and kudos to this thread idea!), I will be visiting this one often.

Re: blacklight shots
Awesome pics Yuck!!!, they're so clear... Edit: my Coral Ollie pic sucked and was not worthy of this thread. Will post better once I can capture a good one.

Re: blacklight shots
You can get a great, 4-AA-powered handheld 6" tube blacklight at Spencer's for $10. Lights up the whole room. Totally worth it. Phil, I'm right there with you... always running the Blacklight Test when I get a new toy. The effects even on some toys that aren't GiD or overtly UV-reactive can be very interesting... weird color effects and gives them a strange, enjoyably velvety look. People, check out your Shikarunas... even ones that look like they would have no reactivity at all! My Dagigon one-off held some very nice surprises!
