Hi Jaap
Very nice shots, I especially like the first windmill one.
Did you need long exposures for these?
Also, with the IR, did you worry about pulling the focus for the shots at all?.
Or just shoot at high f/stop?
Regards

Well, as it was nearly six in the evening, there was not that much IR about, so I guess, abot 1/15th @ 5.6 at ISO 640. I wanted the low sun.
Focusa is easy. In general, take the the 5.6 DOf marking as your guideline. Try out the lens for the exact spot. It is very easy, I shoot AE and these are basically out of camera jpegs, just levels and curves.

Cool Jaapv, I love IR, I shot some infrared too for very start of my new book project, it was a couple days ago using my Hasselblad / R72 filter, I just developed them last night. I set black only in levels from the scans, the real photos will appear in the darkroom..🙂

... likes film again.
^^ These look very good ! Which film did you use ?

Great shots, Daniel 🙂 Maybe we should keep this thread as a general IR one.

The windmill is great! What film did you use?

Ummm... This is the M8 forum.... So M8, ISO 640. Thank you for the appreciation 🙂

This is intriquing. Did you say that these are pretty much straight out of the camera? The M8 then seems like a remarkably good IR body.
What are the suggestions for filters? Does the filter have a dramatic effect on the image?
These shots have really got me thinking that I need to try this out soon after my M8 gets here on friday. They are fantastic and I guess much nicer due to the use of a rangefinder where you are not blind.

B&W 093 is the filter. The difference between out-of-camera jpeg and DNG is marginal for this use (as opposed to normal shooting).
Levels and curves, about all. Focussing: Use the rangefinder and transfer the value to the 5.6 DOF mark as a good starting point. You can finetune that through chimping. I did not use the best lens for IR here. The older ones are usually a bit better.

Thanks! Does the dof take care of focus on the wider lenses, or does that change somehow?

To tell you the truth, DOF doesn't work for me. Since I got into digital -sensors are so precise- and the extremely sharp and fast Leica M lenses, I have been able to determine the plane of focus in just about every shot I took, regardless of aperture. I am a plane-of-focus shooter and try to use each lens as open as possible. DOF, hyperfocal and zone focussing are compromises on the M8 in my experience. So in short -no, it helps a bit but does not take care of it. Others may disagree. What is advisable, as IR photography is mostly static, is to do a focus bracket series.

Nice shots. I don't know why, because I like the look, but in all the years I've been into photography I never shot a single frame of IR film...nor with the M8. Maybe time to give it a try. There's definitely no shortage of foliage that reflects a ton of IR around here 😀 No windmills though. A number of years ago we stayed in Amsterdam and friends who live there drove us way out in the boonies because I couldn't be in Holland and not see windmills 😀 They looked at me like "Crazy American tourist, what's the big deal with windmills?"

Rollie IR400 in 120 with a R72 filter. I actually have a large supply of Kodak HIE in both 35 and 120 but in this particular project, I did not want the halation effects, so the Rollie is perfect for it.

Sounds good to me.
Maybe you could try an experiment I was mulling over some ago when I still had the M8. Could you try a wide field / panoramic stitch?
Because the M8 has a crop factor, I got phenomenal panoramic stitches out of it, it would be cool to see the change in IR effect over a wide area.

Jaap,
Very nice tones. Seems most posters were recommending the 092 filter instead of the 093. Do you like the results better from the 093 ?
Thanks,
Glenn

There is little difference. The 093 allows a bit of visible deep red,given slightly shorter exposure times. The results are difficult to tell apart (and less of a hot spot with some lenses)

Jaap,
I have made some tests with my lenses (Elmarit-M 1:3.8/24 ASPH., Summilux-M 1:1.4/35 ASPH. and Summilux-M 1:1.4/50mm (pre-ASPH)) to find a hot spot. It seams that it depends on the f-stop you use. You'll find the images here :
