Bill, and anyone else wondering why I don't just follow the guides and 
shoot, not talk...

My interest is actually the metering and measurement. I have seen many 
wonderful IR photographs, and I know that they would not be improved by an 
accurate "meter." Perhaps a meter would allow a person to bracket less, but 
I'm not thinking about metering as a solution to a problem... that would 
perhaps be the classic case of a "solution" looking for a problem to solve. ;-)

I'm a tech nerd. My eye is terrible. I get an occasional nice shot, by the 
simple expedient of taking many snapshots. But I enjoy the technology, and 
the results...

Regards,

Bob
