Shipping
Shipping is currently available to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Luxemburg, Poland, United Kingdom, and United States. Since the shipping cost varies from country to country, each country is added to the order form individually. If you’d like to ship to your country, let me know so I can add it to the order form.
The cost to ship internationally is higher than I would like. These are the best discount international rates available from the major carriers. To reduce the cost of shipping, I’m exploring local fulfillment options for each region. I have yet to set a timeline for when or if this will happen.

For many scenarios, it is even easier than processing daytime color infrared images. Hopefully, this will inspire you to brave the cold and shoot.
