Any questions? :-)
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.
Mission nicely accomplished!
OTOH, I don't "get" it. I don't see what it adds to the subject.
Then again, I don't "get" most IR photos, and couldn't understand Gee Bee's love of sometimes mucking up his lovely
landscapes with strong filters that messed about with the greens, either.
Not a complete IR grump, I do have a 17x22 print of this Ctein IR photos that I love. <http://ctein.com/Peggy.htm> The
print is significantly more engaging than the web JPEG. Can't say just why I like it, as most of his IR work doesn't do
much for me.
