DIY Infrared Filter and Underwater Housing

Sam Noyoun has written two instructables dealing with camera modifications.

The first would have been useful for me last week—a cheap underwater camera housing. The system using "special" Navy SEALS technology (two condoms), provides the seal and a dessicant bag helps keep the moisture out.

The second recently won second prize in a recent instructables.com science contest. (For his efforts he won $10 and a get out of jail free card— Sorry, for some reason I found it necessary to make a Monopoly joke.) This cheap infrared filter can be made in 10 minutes and uses pretty common items.

Thanks Sam for the great tutorials!

Edit: broken link fixed.
