Went for a stroll up The Royal Mile in Edinburgh today, managed to see a few things worth getting the equipment out for
I must be ill, I didn't take the 'fishy' out of the bag all day
Loving the Samyang - 85mm - f1.4.

I would probably need to down quite a few beers before I would wear this jacket on a walk down Rose St. Edinburgh ?

Thank you, Richard.
You have expanded my knowledge.
I still think the images are superb, so therefore I hate you

Great pictures.
Followed your thread about the camera modifications, well done.
I went through a few rolls of infrared Kodak slide film more than 30 years ago, I remember the advice was to keep it wrapped in tin-foil when not in the camera. Your system seems easier
One question, to the more educated than me, if the infrared part of the spectrum picks up radiated 'heat', I would have thought that this would be shown in the image as different shades in parts of the train, i.e. the smoke stack, because it is hot, would be a different shade, ( lighter ), than the buffers ?
If I'm being stupid let me know, maybe my experience with the IR film was different.
I remember taking pictures of someone's arm, and the blood vessels stood out in infrared, because they were warmer than the surrounding skin.
May try and dig out a few of the old slide's and let you see them.
p.s. I still think the images are 10 out of 10

I wouldn't say no to ISO10. You won't get better IQ though, just an inbuilt ND filter :
Surely a 'gap in the market' ?
I would see very low ISO numbers as a feature, could allow me to dispense with theses ND filters, hmmmm, "May have to apply for a patent" !

If you want you can patent that.
Seem's like a lot of work, Stefan I would like to be able to dial in ISO numbers from -400, now that would be cool. Smeggypants

Can believe this hasn't been done before, in the 'digital age' ?
No extra losses due to the use of filter glass, dust, marks etc, why can't we have it ?

Can I be the only one ?
I want my next Pentax to have the ISO range starting at 10, never mind 510,000
I want to use my 50mm, 1.2's and 1.4's and my 85mm 1.4's 'WIDE' open without filters.

I thought that, but looking at it quickly, it makes it take on the image of a DC9 / DC 10 ?
p.s. I've upped my rating of 9.5 to a 9.7, I'm being too 'picky' great image

Speaking as someone that is not a great fan of insects, birds or flowers pictures, I love the first image, but, there is always a but, the 'orange' blur in the back-ground is a bit distracting ?
But, another, but, ( Duh ), I still think it is a top image, well into the 9.5's, well done !!!
