Sheesh!, That's definitely HQ photography Simon! It's like the Sunday Times colour supplement or something....that sort of "larger than life" look. You definitely know your stuff here. Doit, that soldering iron was at about 450ºC...you would really nead a thermal imaging camera to pick up body temperature stuff. Duende & A.T, I thought ghosts were meant to cause a cold feeling in the room...hence very little IR radiation, so I don't really know where that theory originated from? Kovachian, I'd never heard of that TV series before...although the phrase "The only Tool you'll ever need" doesn't really work in British English, as "tool" has another meaning. Mr. Magenta, I've got the damn thing in bits again as it's just a cheap, fixed focus thing and the focus is out in IR, so I'm trying to work something out to correct this. I had originally wanted to have some kind of thermal imaging 'scope to help finding faults on complex digital PCBs...but the wavelength doesn't go down far enough sadly. Will try to post some stuff if I get the focus problem fixed. If that doesn't work, then I'll probably just leave it and start drilling a port in my guitar instead. cheers, Ron

Do you think a camera with a small TV type viewfinder could be used in IR mode in real time? Pgh....There is a small LCD screen on the camera, so I can use it in real time...or even make a short video. It's better hooked up to my PC USB port (in Webcam mode), as the picture is much bigger and clearer. If someone stands in front of you and operates an ordinary TV remote control, it looks like a flashlight, very bright....so if you had to make a flashlight out of some high power infrared LEDs, you would be able to see clearly in a darkened room. All this has been done before of course, but I just like tinkering with stuff rather than just reading about it. I would love to get a Thermal Imaging camera, but even a cheapo one costs around £2000.....the good ones, £8,000 to £16,000 !!! Simon...I've got a cat like that....it has long hair which sometimes gets clogged with those sticky, "fuzzball" type plant seeds in the summertime. She's so vicious that she needs a general anaesthetic even to get a haircut! Needless to say the claws are long, strong and totally deadly when used on someone's feet or ankles as well as ripping up carpets and soft furnishings. We call it "the claw of Death". I don't know why we keep the vicious, ungrateful swine....it's done hundreds of pounds worth of damage as well as causing pain and injury to innocent folk. I didn't even want it in the first place, but was nagged into it by my wife and daughter. Absolutely beautiful dog though! cheers, Ron

I can't sacrifice my camera for a project like this, but I'll be sure to pass this info on to my friends. Simon, those are some incredible pics, but it's like the old fashioned cameras from the 1800's--the subjects are forced to stay still to avoid ruining the picture. With all of your equipment and expertise have you been asked to film any weddings or graduations?
