[Leica] Something new from me

[Peter Klein]

Thanks, Jim and Aram. I just thought I'd try something different. I did 
do some reading beforehand, including people's suggestions here. So my 
initial guesses were close to what was needed. And my kousa dogwood tree 
and other leafy things across the street were very cooperative.

 >> Leica M8, 35/2 Summicron IV at f/5.6. 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.
