I used a red #25 for the Kodak High Speed Infrared. Without the red or infrared filter you won't get too much of that foliage and halo effect. I'm sure you can do long exposures concurrent with deeper IR filters. The more opaque it is, the longer exposure you can achieve (i.e. 87C filter). I always developed my Kodak IR 70°F at 10 minutes, D-76 stock.
