*"One other thing, which is worth noting is that never shot directly into sunlight even with an IR filter on"* Just curious about your reasoning there John. I don't make a habit of it but have in the past. You get a lot of flare but are you saying it will damage the sensor? You also mention a psuedo IR effect with red filter and B&W mode. I concur that you get a similar effect, but as you can see from my test sample above that green foliage still comes out dark whereas the red daisies became white. I think a green filter might give you lighter foliage, though I am not sure what it woul do to the sky. With a full IR filter (bottom), you see both red (tomatoe) and green (vine) lighten up. I look forward to seeing your article John. Perhaps you could host it online if it is really long and post a link to it here.
