Inspired by the IR photos on this thread, I found a filter off ebay and it just arrived today.
Hows it look? I'll get better at it...My camera is a DSLR Konica Minolta Z10, with infra-red filter NOT removed.
Taken during the afternoon, with exposure of 3 seconds. I tried it again during the evening, but it didn't work anywhere as well. I'll have to try at noon sometime.

Ahh, that is very cool. It's less clear than some of the others, but it's also more 'artistic' for the same reason. It has a cool mood to it.. Like a picture taken before the apocalypse or something.

I always thought this one was cool.
A year or two ago, I had a horizontal breakout on a VTTC about an inch away, aiming at a piece of thick plexiglas in an attempt to photograph dielectric crawl across the surface. The streamers eventually ignited the acrylic and the flames started at the center of the breakout point and moved radially away in sharp triangular fashion. It looked very surreal--the manner those flames licked and danced about. I wish I had a video of it rather than several snapshots.
I suppose someone can always duplicate this if they have a TC of some sort. I'll have to brush off the dust and fool around with it again sometime!

Wow! Those glass figures are awesome Hazmatt. Welldone.
Here's an aerial shot of our house taken by a remote controlled camera suspended from a weather balloon. (visit my site for details). You may be able to identify where I took that IR photo from.

Here's a more proper Alembic I made a few hours ago. The downspout is almost in the right place, a bit too high, but not bad for a start. It also thermal-shocked so I had to refire the crack and do some itty-bitty filling with a piece of scrap rod pulled off, but nobody would ever know the difference. I put some of that CuCl[sub]2[/sub] to good use here. Now I need to make a tiny cylinder, some little beakers, and a little sepratory funnel would be really cool especially on a little stand. I would have to fake the stopcock, but who cares.
Yep, I've gone totally off the deep end, but it sure was fun making these. Who else in the world has a micro-alchemy set anyways, heheheheh.
