Every year my little town here outside Raleigh hosts a hot-air balloon 
festival. We went to the evening part of one day?s festivities to see the 
evening ascent and the flaring event, where the pilots of balloons on the 
ground flash their burners to light up the envelopes in a nice light show. 
It occurred to me that these flashes should be rich in infrared, so I took 
the M8 as well as the M240.

One thing I discovered is that IR images made without sunlight are not very 
interesting unless there?s a strong IR source in the frame.
