Yesterday, I went on my leisurely bike ride along the beach with the M8 and a Heliopan 715 filter. With the very sharp noontime sunshine, it is perfectly feasible to handhold the camera even with a relatively strong IR filter: most of the time I was shooting at f5.6, 1/125 at ISO 640 (the exif incorrectly shows the f stop as f32 since it is merely an estimate based on the amount of light reaching the sensor). Here is an ordinary beach scene in colour: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=3226012125&k=LfNFJHZ&lb=1&s=O Here is the same scene in IR: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=3226012211&k=nmJB2d7&lb=1&s=O Of course, compared to the old days of High Speed Infrared from Kodak, this effect is relatively mild. Still, I am happy that the M8 can yield these results without any conversions or other trickery (and minimal processing in LR).
