Infrared Camera

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.

      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.
