[Leica] Some M8 Images

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Chris that is a thoughtful and well constructed group. The second ice shot
is especially appealing.
There's nothing in any of the content that might provide a reason for the
UV/IR .
If you'd like a technical comment on that aspect,look at the
Selfridges shots. I suspect that the window glass has prevented any possible
mis-rendering of the dark fabrics anyway. But your UV has given you the same
minor artefacts that a UV/IR (or any filter) would have. See the small blue
internal reflections (second shot) of the point light sources?
