[Leica] M8 IR images

[Howard Ritter]

When the bright green foliage of spring in NC has come out, the M8 and IR filter can’t be far behind! Apparently this first foliage is very bright in reflected IR. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such bright bushes and trees. Nice day for IR, too, with blue sky and puffy clouds leaving plenty of breaks for the sun to fully illuminate the scene with intense direct IR.

See a few scenes taken on the shore of a local suburban lake near Raleigh, NC, here <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hlritter/gallery/>.

M8 @ ISO 640, Elmarit-M 24/2.8 @ f/8, B+W 093 filter (830 nm cutoff). F/5.6 DOF mark used as focus index.

C&C welcome.
