Now, since I have just talked about various colored eyewear that I own, I thought I’d mention a few of the filters that my camera wears now and then. Unfortunately at this point, pictures will be unavaliable until my camera is back in the field (she’s in pieces atm, which I will talk about later on, as it involves technology and is rather cool surgery.) Now since my predeliction towards the unseen is definatly there with the exotic (IR, UV photographu) or the slightly esoteric with mounting a pinhole to my camera, the filters that will be mentioned will be of these categorys.

Now a little about me, I like non standard lighting, Infrared, Ultraviolet, 3d effects obtained via visual hacks and the like. This has caused me to buy a few different pieces of eyewear in the past, ranging from protective to retro. In my old job I used to have to wear green laser safety eyewear as to not burn out my retinas. I have a picture of myself somewhere wearing them, but dont ask me where as I have no idea. One set of eyewear I intend to make/obtain sometime are a set of steampunk/cyberpunk styled goggles with some R72 or equiv glass (its a near infrared filter that lets a bit of red through, and our eyes are slightly sensitive around that end.) But that is not the eyewear that is being talked about here today. Today its two pieces, one Orange, the other Red and Blue.
