with all due respect, all this metering of IR is mere rubbish.
each box has an info sheet inside with all you need to
know for shooting it. the most important part of a good
IR image is "seeing" the effect of IR on the scene in your
viewfinder!
1) brightly lit, preferably head on from behind you
2) no large areas of shadow (very little IR reflectance!)
3) foliage reflectance is due to the IR bouncing around
in the cell structure and back out, so get some leaves
and plants and such in there
4) blue sky and water go black / foliage goes whitish-grey,
clouds stand out against the black sky even more so than
w/ regular b&w w/ a red filter
5) many manmade things like concrete, metal and fabric &
such take on eerie looks, depending upon their reflectivity
of the IR spectrum - ie: the green paint on the bridge
here comes out bone-white (unrelated to foliage effect)
f11@1/125th (or equivalent) w/ the #25 red and have at it!
