> [@sturmhauke](#): > > Those are really good. Are you a professional photographer? Thanks, I’m glad you like my stuff! I’m not a pro, just an obsessed amateur who’s only been seriously shooting for about 2 years. However, I’ve drawn and been an art lover since I was a little kid and that background has certainly helped when it comes to things like composition, colour, etc. BTW, I like your computer photo. That menacing glow would make it a perfect Dr. Who villain. > [@whammo](#): > > [http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6084/watch0uu.jpg](http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6084/watch0uu.jpg) I love this one. Watches, clocks, gears, springs, etc., hold a deep fascination for me for some reason. ---

ok… From my [kitchen](http://www.squidgeblossom.com/QuickGallery/?image=Mitts.jpg) My [front door](http://www.squidgeblossom.com/QuickGallery/?image=FrontDoor.jpg) and the [bush](http://www.squidgeblossom.com/QuickGallery/?image=bush.jpg) beside it. (was playing with zooming around on long exposures) My favorite [possession](http://www.squidgeblossom.com/QuickGallery/?image=Lulua.jpg) other than my camera, which has been done already. It is a Lulua Cheiftan sculpture, Zaire, circa 1870. and, photographer’s choice, I’m taking two here, as well. A nice [lion](http://www.squidgeblossom.com/QuickGallery/?image=Lion.jpg) from the Maasai Mara, and my [daughter](http://www.squidgeblossom.com/QuickGallery/?image=Rain.jpg) during a super heavy rainstorm. ---

> [@MrFantsyPants](#): > > Out of curiosity, how are you shooting IR? (Surely not film! Nobody shoots film anymore) Its just an infrared filter actually. I was inspired to try it out by **Hodges** amazing IR work from the link he posted in his previous post. Check out his work if you haven’t yet, its wonderful. ---

I guess to answer your main question, its digital. It seems most digital cameras will capture the IR wavelength if at least most of the other visible light spectrum is blocked. ---

With just under eighteen hours to spare… Here’s the view from my [front porch](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/92320729/), in black and white. I guess since it’s also shot from about two feet off the ground, it’s sort of what the dog might see. A [kitchen](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/92387532/) item I can’t live without. My [favorite possession](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/93300266/), which I will love even more once I’ve completely paid for it. And finally, the one I want to [show off](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcp909/77042461/) with. Is anyone planning a February assignment? 'Cause I think we should. ---
