Thank you VERY much for the good wishes Alan! I'm partial to taking
black and white Infrared pictures with an old Nikon 5400 I bought on
ebay and for which I then bought an IR filter from www.lifepixel.com.
Using the online tutorials at Lifepixel, I took the 5400 apart and
replaced the IR-cut filter with the IR filter. Now, I can use the
5400's focusing and light meter as normal, (no focus first, then put a
filter in front of the lens.) It's these B&W shots that I want to have
a perfectly neutral (or as close as possible,) tonality on.

I assume there is no posting of images in the threads here, but I hope
to have my web site back up shortly if anyone is interested in seeing
some of my offerings. All I need is about another 10 hrs in a day and
I should be fine!
