Hoya R72* filter for the IR shot. Best IR obtained using the right-hand f/2 DOF mark, based on a very quick hand-held test. The M8 TTL metering is close enough to be useful. The M8's IR shutter speeds in sunlight are about 1/60 second plus or minus one stop at mid-apertures and ISO 160. I boosted the red channel and general contrast in the B&W conversion. The idea was to get the leaves almost white but still maintain some detail. Click pic to enlarge. Enjoy! --Peter * Similar to Wratten #89B , Schott RG695, B+W 092.
