Re: Infra red photos with the *ist DS

Nice work. I like the one with the buildings against the sky especially ... that sky has a very ominous look. The *ist DS seems more sensitive to IR than I'd expected. Perhaps I'll pull out my B+W 092 and give it a go one of these days. Godfrey On Feb 17, 2006, at 9:13 PM, Derby Chang wrot
