Geoff is interested in IR because he likes the look, but is also working 
on his science fair project which is looking for markings on birds that 
might only be visible in IR  or UV.  Birds are tetrachromes and see into 
the UV portion of the spectrum.  Some have IR sensitivity also.  The 
current plan for UV is to do looooonnnng time exposures with a wratten 
18a of feathers (because birds won't hold still).  Eventually leading up to 
photographing whole study specimens in museums, or figuring out a way to 
do live action UV photography of the birds.  Tips on UV would be 
welcomed with delight.  Geoff has been told that there are extreme 
problems using regular lenses to do UV photography because regular lenses 
flouresce with UV, so he is contemplating trying pinhole photography.

Current wishes: finding a used wratten 18a.
   finding out whether near UV makes lenses flouresce.
   finding out if video cameras record UV, and if so, how is it 
      displayed.

I answered for Geoff because he has a very hectic day today.
