[Leica] Filter factors - Infra red and red-neck girls

["SonC (Sonny Carter)" <sonc@sonc.com>]

Don,
Thanks for the mention in the note to Brad.  Funny about the timing
that you should have posted that last night.  Only a few minutes
before on Leica IRC, I had been talking about the possiblility of
doing a series  on "red-neck girls," (see lyrics below.)

I dearly love those gals, and we have a lot of them around here.  All
you need to do is go up and tell one of them, "You look like you need
to have your picture made," and they'll be ready.

Now that Natchitoches has taken down the Christmas Festival clothes
and turned back into an historic village, I'm looking for a new
subject, and this may just be it.

On another issue, Your posting about the insensitivity of meters to IR
made lots of sense to me.  I recently tried a roll of BW Portra shot
through a Leitz IR filter, and it was dismally underexposed.  Only
shots that actually had the sun's rays in them had any image at all.

I had chalked that up to the chromogenic being blind to the IR, but
after your explanation and checking Ilford's site, I realized that the
meter was probably the blind spot.

I'm gonna get some SFX and go at it again.

Regards,
Sonny

GIVE ME A RED NECK GIRL
The Bellamy Brothers

A red neck girl likes to cruise in Daddy's pickup truck
And a red neck girl plays her heart when she's down on her luck
Livin'for Friday afternoon
She's gonna show some ole boy that weekend moon

And I pray that someday I will find me a red neck girl
A red neck girl likes to stay out all night long
She makes sweet rock 'n roll while she listens to the
She's waiting for that moment of surrender
Her hands are callous, but her heart is tender

And I pray that someday I will find me a red neck girl
Give me a, give me a, give me a red neck girl
Give me a, give me a, give me a red neck girl

A red neck girl's got her name on the back of her belt
She got a kiss on the lips for her man and nobody else
A coyote's howling out on the prairie
First comes love, then comes marriage

And I pray that someday I will find me a red neck girl
Yeah give me a, give me a, give me a red neck girl
Give me a, give me a, give me a red neck girl
Give me a, give me a, give me a red neck girl
