[Leica] Some M8 Images

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

A nice set, Chris but to clarify what Geoff has written:

The window glass won't do anything for/against the IR. Your available 
light just happens to be low IR content, which is usual in winter.

The reflection may or may not be due to the UV filter. It looks like 
the picture is shot through glass, the most likely cause is the 
window glass as that causes way more reflections than filters, an of 
a somewhat different type.




>Chris that is a thoughtful and well constructed group. The second ice shot
>is especially appealing.
>There's nothing in any of the content that might provide a reason for the
>UV/IR .
>If you'd like a technical comment on that aspect,look at the
>Selfridges shots. I suspect that the window glass has prevented any possible
>mis-rendering of the dark fabrics anyway. But your UV has given you the same
>minor artefacts that a UV/IR (or any filter) would have. See the small blue
>internal reflections (second shot) of the point light sources?
