Sounds like you packed a week into a day, Michelle. I guess it's crunch time for your project. You really should have stayed at a hotel for the night.
This is a very cool color. I don't think I have ever seen an IR image treated this way. Nice work.
Were you seeing this in addition to seeing double after your marathon? #6580869
