Maybe with a long enough exposure, I can get some IR and UV photos without modifying my camera? We made the test. We shot our pigments checker with a Nikon D800 without any modification, such as one camera that you can buy in any shop. Then we shot with our Nikon D800 modified for UV-VIS photography. We kept the same conditions (aperture, shutter speed, UV and IR radiation intensity, distance camera – subject).
We started the test with our Nikon D800 modified. We used an exposure of 1/2 second for both the IR and UV images. Then we tested the standard camera and we got just dark images. We increased the exposure up to 5 seconds and the result was the same, just dark images.
