Professor Joseph Giacomin and his artistic thermal images have
featured before on this blog.
Thermal art is basically as rare as hen's teeth, mainly because thermal cameras are very expensive beasts (although that may be
about to change).

He has now launched a web site dedicated to his thermograms (or is it thermographs?):
Perception Enhancement Studios with a fascinating collection of images captured using a 320 by 240 pixel camera. This is standard res for thermal devices, anything higher counts as HD. One useful feature is that you can choose to view the set of images from three tonal scales. Two are false colour, red-blue and iron, and the third is grey-scale. Personally, I prefer the grey-scale. The false colour scales are designed to exaggerate differences in temperatures, which I feel can often be a bit over the top for art. That said, false colour shouldn't be ignored and I suggest you go to the web site and make your own mind up.

I have come across other artistic thermal images, but I find Joseph usually has the edge when it comes to artistic flair (or should that be artistic Flir ... in-joke).
