If I was a rich girl...

This is the camera I would have, and ALPA of Switzerland.

These cameras are modular, so check out this camera back from Achromatic+ of Denmark.

This is for taking black and white images and it uses infrared with living things shown in red.

At the bottom of the second link is the back on the ALPA Camera setup. Wow, huh?

I discovered these bits of engineering heaven while researching cameras.

I decided right away that I didn't want to choose between apples or oranges and wanted something truly unique.

And I can have just that ... for right around $45,000!

Yikes!

I am such a gear head.

I better get out there and start painting again.

Can you imagine the reference material you could get from painting with these images? Just mind blowing!!!
