1/60 f/11 ISO 200. B/W mode 89B IR filter (50% transmission at 720nm) - Street Photography, UVIR style. The viewfinder is useless with the Near IR filter, and although the live preview is handy, it does not lend itself to grabbing "the decisive moment" when this member of NY's finest looked my way. Knowing I was using a lens near normal perspective (Sigma 24mm f/1.8 EX DG macro with a 1.5x factor), at hyperfocal distance, I was able to use my left eye as a "rangefinder" and frame my shot and moment.
