Marnie, Some common fabrics (Notably certain manmade fibres) are nealy translucent to infrared. So you get the same effect as a wet, white T-Shirt. Needless to say, this can be an issue with IR photography. But sincemost IR work requires long exposures, it isn't. IR-modified cameras like this fuji on the otherhand can get good IR exposures with more normal shutterspeeds so they can be used for nefarious purposes. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
