Digital BW, The Print

The current issue, August 2003, of Professional Photographer has an 
article by Don Emmerich on the digital production of IR images.  Its 
pretty thorough if you overlook the reference in fig. 5 to a "Rattan 
No. 87 filter".  I dropped them an email request the dimension of the 
weave and asking if I could use a cut out form an old chair seat; no 
reply yet:-).

Don't magazines have proof readers anymore?  Spell check is not any 
good if you don't understand the technology.

Regards,

David Dorn
