hi hi - to the naked eye the plates are a beautiful soft orange, not 
purple.  I took these using a 60mm macro lens and Nikon D50 digital 
camera on a tripod - my guess is that there is light outside of the 
visible spectrum that the CCD sensors are picking up - infrared remotes 
for your TV appear as white lights when recorded by CCD devices so i'm 
guessing the same effect is happening with the type of light coming off 
the plates. 

A buddy of mine has a homebrew 4-250 amp that i'm trying to get him to 
haul out of storage - I'm sure that one would look nice as well.  Or a 
4-1000 (drool).

If I get any more good ones i'll post them as well.
