One of the things I like about IR is that it transforms ordinary scenes into
something weird and interesting. Yesterday, I went on my leisurely bike ride
along the beach with the M8 and a Heliopan 715 filter. With the very sharp
noontime sunshine, it is perfectly feasible to handhold the camera even with a
relatively strong IR filter: most of the time I was shooting at f5.6, 1/125 at
ISO 640 (the exif incorrectly shows the f stop as f32 since it is merely an
estimate based on the amount of light reaching the sensor).
Here is an ordinary beach scene in colour:

Here is the same scene in IR:

Of course, compared to the old days of High Speed Infrared from Kodak, this
effect is relatively mild. Still, I am happy that the M8 can yield these
results without any conversions or other trickery (and minimal processing in
LR).
Cheers,
