Ultraviolet induced visible fluorescence photography

Sounds complicated, but it's just shining UV light on an object in a dark room and taking a normal photo with long exposure. If you want to be pure about only picturing visible light, you might need a UV filter, since many cameras can already see a bit of UV despite inbuilt filters.

How to DIY.
