Default A couple of pictures, trying out a camera filter





I fabricated an infrared filter, and took pics of my filthy box, among other things (Wow, that's an awesome double entendre). To make a long story short, you can see some infrared, but it's normally washed out by regular visible light.

To do this yourself, get the free swatch book of Lee brand lighting filters (use Congo Blue and Primary Red), some electrical tape, and some Coroplast (since I had it laying around).

When I get around to it, I intend to use a different blue filter in the book on the lights in my gauge cluster, so it will more or less match my blue footwell LEDs, and newly-acquired Oznium dome light and HVAC LEDs (I got the C5-base ones, but swapped the LEDs themselves into the Toyota base, and they look amazing).

Well, yeah, but these aren't photochopped.

I got the idea here: http://amasci.com/amateur/irgoggl.html#everybody

I just figured that since I was fooling around with my camera, I'd take some pictures of the xB. Geez.

That may not be the right filter to shoot a car with.

However, you could probably do some nice scenic shots with it.
