Waiting for some sunshine too although you might try to get some IR pics
at cloudy conditions. Could produce some moody pics as well. As far as
XTOL is concerned, I use the 1+1 dilution, which gives my pretty good
results. I was told, that 1+2 or higher dilutions will give much more
grain. Never tested this myself. Maybe others?
