Shades of (infra) red
I was trying out a thermal camera at work today. It belongs to another department but they were happy for me to borrow it (provided I fixed the software first!).
It gives you a fairly low resolution (128 x 128 pixels) picture and there are lots of tweakables for the display style but it is easiest to set it to auto-ranging.
I took this picture below of a colleague looking at some computer equipment down an aisle in our Data centre. (you can see the heat of the equipment to the left). He certainly doesn’t qualify as a Doreen Slater (the stick insect girlfriend of Adrian Mole’s Dad) but this picture makes him look like a Weeble.
When i showed him it he was struck by the resemblance to Mr. Stay Puft the Marshmallow man.
Well, it’s quite a pretty image!
