Hi Bill.Thanks for the info.I have read the Kodak
box wich suggests with my #25 red to shoot at ISO 50.
If i set the speed at 50,the shutter at 125
(as you suggest)and bracket around the f11 all should be fine.??
I fiqure trees will have enough leaves to try so IR at
mid April in this area(found a spot with some willow trees,
they should come out earlier than most others)
Thanks
Dave

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!
Bill
