Keen! We just played with a Infrared Camera and it’s so cool. Someone walking through the room leaves visible foot prints. In a perfectly clear window, a person looking in infrared could not see through it. It’s so much fun.

Remind me tomorrow to tell you a funny story about that camera.
Jeremy, tell me a funny story about that camera.
I want one!
Actually, it’s any glass. IR sees it as a solid.
The window may be coated, blocking the ir spect. They used one on “mythbusters” to get around a security system.
Old school (not digital) IR photography is fun and pretty. Color is allright.
