This is a sort of "digital" IR. The effect was accomplished while scanning the color negative rather than in camera or in post processing:

The vignette really adds to this image in my view, as though taken through a telescope, even the un level horizon invokes observing from the pitching deck of a ship. Very nice indeed and thanks for...

Thank you! The fellow in the bowler hat is a professional photographer and was really interested in my rig.

I took these in April 2016, toned a little in PS post processing.

Thanks! I've been meaning to try R09 with blue x-ray as time permits.

Truly outstanding! The wife and I took the train one fall and it is an absolutely great experience.

Great images! What dilution did you use?

Bravo!

I haven't done digital fiction in quiet a while, so here's some oldies, more photoshop than photographs:

Yep, from what I've read and observed most people agree the true speed is around 1000 give or take. Two reference points I've shot are below.

This one was with a Super Ikonta 6x9 rated at 800,...

I like the combination of sweeping curves and the straight leaves , this would be an interesting setting for portraiture I think.

Thanks, when I got more serious than family photos, I also shot weddings for a while, strictly to pay for more equipment. I rarely shot during the ceremony but always broke out the twin lens to be...

LOL, true that.

It is a little misleading though, this wasn't during a church service. We were there for a performance of the Brandenburg Concertos by the Dallas Bach Society on New Year's Day. ...

Thank you! I will check it out the next time I head that way, but the way my back feels I'll probably go with a lighter camera!

Thanks, I like the tighter crop also, good thing I only took one lens or I might have used a wider angle to catch more. It's a marvelous cemetery, I ran out of time, and some maintenance was going...

Excellent portrait of a lovely lady.
