I started a new hobby. taking pics. not ordinary digital snaps, but pics with filters attached to the camera.
I start off with an IR filter. This hoya R-72 filter cuts out light below 700nm. Thus the pic is majorly due to near IR reflecting off various objects. Note that this is not the same as thermal imaging. Digital camera CCDs are nowhere near that sensitive. The effect is eerie with green foliage appearing as an almost fluorescent white while other objects appearing in various shades of darkness. The awesome thing is that the air around us does not absorb much in the IR, so these snaps appear clearer than ordinary pics. Anyways...here goes
