@markusl Yes, exactly! A friend (physicist) and I hat a lovely time shooting our electric stoves and seeing the heated coils showing up in IR earlier than they're visible to the human eye. It's also fun being able to see through the darkened ceramic glass.

Oh, you ppl seem to like those cat infrareds. So here's the B-roll: #infrared #caturday #cats

@markusl This kind of IR isn't thermal. Yes, I called it "IR", but "near infrared" would be more appropriate. It's a 550nm lowpass filter which lets parts of visible light through. Thermal radiation doesn't register in a relevant way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_photography

@suetanvil @dch Yes. Full 550nm IR. Fur seems to be pretty unaffected at this wavelength.

@dch Thanks. Unnatural looking grass is a main feature of infrared photography. Was rather surprised how natural cats appear in it. Humans certainly do not.

(They're currently at 3€, forgot to set the additional pay-what-you-want. Will do that tomorrow. But if you feel generoud, I will give 100% of any payment to his human, who is a student and not making much money)

Another photoshoot with Balu, the cutest cat imaginable. This time in several shades of #infrared.

#Hanami in #snow. The white stuff was gone after two days. Looks like a fairytale, but trees came out of that episode rather battered with broken branches and brown #cherryblossoms.

@Penbee Yeah, so precious. But pretty bedraggled once it got sunny.
(I'm a historian. We live to destroy people's illusions of everything pretty 🙈)

Took some #cherryblossoms inside to shoot under studio conditions: softbox with white and blue ringlights to achieve that soft semi-transparent cool light.

#Hanami at the local town square a few days back. I'm currently processing images of the same branches weighed down by 10cm of snow. 🙈 #spring #cherryblossoms

Balu the goofball. #caturday #catsofmastodon

Early #caturday: Meet Balu, the cuddly cute but slightly dense angel of a feline that one of my friends is blessed with. #gadse #catcontent

Fresh fungi in December. Well, then. #photography #sporespondence

Revisting December's fungi colony. Now dried out, semi-transparent. Backlit by the setting sun and a blue sky that lasted almost 20 minutes. We're so spoiled here in Central Europe.
