2. $30. Mind you,
digital infrared photography is purportedly much easier than infrared film photography...

4. Nekkid people bonking like bunnies?
Just jivin'.

I love the surreal nature infrared photography allows. It's eye-catchy and I know the ideal locations to take advantage of the parameters IR exploits.

Besides, it's a hobby and it'll get me out of the house more often.

8. I'm not pmophobic; and IR for landscape photography works best during the day.
(the pic above; it's light reflected from green leafs and the blue sky is seen as black. Selective sensor manipulation in the camera itself allowed the red to bleed through... though a similar effect can be done in Photoshop...)

10. "Now the world has gone to bed, darkness won't engulf my head. I can see by infrared.
How I hate the night."

Marvin's poem. Just scinitillating.

12. You naughty man...

Some days I know too much.


Battle against infrared voyeurs

23/03/2007

Arguably, the women's enemy gear number one is an infrared (filtered) camera. This naughty piece of equipment mainly utilizes the light(?) of near infrared range for its imaging, filtering out the regular light frequency range.

Why naughty? Because, the infrared can go through a layer of thin cloth or filmy covering quite easily. Yes, an infrared camera can obliterate flimsy swim suits worn by women.

13. Oh, that's lovely to know...
:eyes:

:rofl:

Two things:

1) I only do outside landscaping photography. There are some twigs and bushes I don't point the lens anywhere near...

2) What was said would be illegal to do. Not to mention unethical and I ain't that type of guy.
