I assume you are talking about the Kodak infrared, than I agree that the fill is rather spendy, but the final result can be quite different a.o. due to the different halo effects. Even in situations known to me, I bracket plus minus one stop if I think the final picture could be realy nice and I donot want to regret later. For starters without experience, I would suggest to bracket plus minus 2 stops in steps of 2 stops to be sure to bring home at least "something". If you can affort it or if the picture is really promissing, you could bracket plus minus 2 stops in steps of one stop. My experience with willows is, that you should not wait to long, small fresh leaves with branches still visible is nicest. When there are too much leaves it becomes a too white mesh due to all the halo. Best regards, Jos - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
