[Leica] infrared - Howard

[Philippe]

Beauties Howard! Beauties. Congrats.

I took the liberty of adjusting my favorite to my taste. I mainly locally sharpened and increased contrast on the canoe and anglers to make them the focus in this wonderful shrine. No harm intended :-)

Naturally, this “bug” can be turned into a “feature”, also known as making lemonade when life hands you lemons. An M8 makes a fine IR camera.
