Step 3Go outside and take some pictures
You'll need bright sunshine, and maybe a tripod, you can use flash, it puts out plenty of UV and gives you a different look.

UV-Ink is something different. It doesn't emit UV Light (well maybe a tiny bit), it does glow under UV Light. So the UV Light is needed to make that Ink Glow.

in this case you could make a UV filter for the flash, which would allow the UV ink to be photographed.

Yeah i already did that, but big problem... It seems my flash doesn't emit alot of UV light, but it gots so much power that it rapidly destroys filters not made for flashes. On the other hand that method probably works best in the dark with a different UV source than the flash.

film is very sensitive to UV .. just remember to take the clear protective (UV) filter off the front of your lens .. exposure might be a problem .. the meter in the camera is for visible light... but playing with exposure compensation that little switch that has the (+/ -) ... also put your lens in manual mode and hand focus with the (home made ) filter on .. your camera doesn't care about the UV spectrum and auto focus wasn't designed to focus in those high freq. ranges
