Saturation gone Mad.

Tom, happy to see yours faired much better than mine this year.  (Dirty Rat Snake in my gallery)
I have learned to keep the doors on my out buildings closed during nesting season and block a couple of small openings to my screened front porch.  I have also built a couple of nesting sites which they have used. Any cozy sheltered spot is game for them.   I didn't know about the multiple nest fact,  I had wondered why they disappeared from the nest in my water softener for a short period.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the attention "Levitation" received after its post,  And being a selection in LWITG is icing on the cake.  Thanks for recognition. 

And  btw, I am still cleaning splatters off of my camera...

Great topic Tom.

Upon futher review.

Based on some further reading I am guessing that the soldering iron glow is NOT thermal but falls into the very narrow range of the IR spectrum(below 1000 nm's, which is the range of a camera sensor too) that is considered not to be emitted by the heat of the object.  I ran across a couple of articles that finally whacked me in the head and got my attention.  And I suppose this is where, in my mind, where it is confusing because that soldering iron is hot but this part of the spectrum the light will not heat.   I think it must have something to do with the time/space continuem.  Where's Q when you need him?

Seems my example was a bit misleading, but still shows that if the object is hot enough your that camera will detect more infrared.

I have developed a headache thinking about it so I am going back to my original hypothesis.  ITS MAGIC!!!!!!

Anyway, its a great way to another view of things.

Beauty Akpe...

Your furry friend seems to enjoy the IR experience.  Need to win the lotto so I can try all the neat lenses.  That website is not dial up friendly though. 

I appreciate the recognition guys.  As always, so many beautiful photos from everyone, thanks to all that share them.  Mike

kort, a vicious circle, the camera guys spending a lot of money trying to get rid of all UV and IR and a bunch of other guys spending a lot of money trying to get it back.    I guess I am on the other guys list...

Hey Tom, dont know how many stops it is, only that it is a few more than an IR filter like the R72.  Hope you can capture something to show us.

I kinda like how this came out.

I usually just stick to the green grass white balance, but it looks like I should be trying a sample of many when I am shooting...
