Well, since I have access to some great IR cameras as part of my job, I thought I'd snap an IR pic of our company's mascot.

Bit-Tech, meet Max the lab:

Not sure if anyone knows much about IR imaging or the equipment used to take photos, but basically, we're limited to a tiny res of 640x480, as essentially, each pixel is a tiny thermometer. Newer cameras are now on the market with a res of 1024x768, which we're looking to buy one, but at £40k a pop, its not cheap! - our current camera cost us £26k!

We are one of the only IR companies in the UK (if not the only) that produces images of this quality like this:

^ Bonus rep if you can tell me what building this is. This is actually a composition of many images, that were stitched together by hand and using a program.

Those are cool, can I borrow your toy?

Flibblebot · 15th Nov 2012, 14:41

At the risk of sounding like everyone else here, those pics are totally cool

What's the big heat source on the roof of the National Archives building?

Definitely different from the norm, I like the building shot.

I would class this as Thermography rather then IR or what I call standard IR being an IR sensor capture the IR spectrum rather then the Radiation (heat).

So how many times have you smuggled the camera home to take photos of a new PC cooling setup
