Nice!! Really cool color palette. A friend of mine bought a couple rolls of Aerochrome a few years ago, but I don't know if he ever shot them. I think they were $75 for a pair - crazy!

Nice! I wish I could find medium format color infrared. Honestly, I consider myself extremely fortunate to still be able to find 35mm color infrared!

Nice aerochrome! I have a roll I shot of that last summer but haven't processed it yet, plus about 5-6 more in the freezer.

This is really fantastic, neat image. Very sharp too, must have been a clear day.

Thank you!
"I think they were $75 for a pair - crazy!" -- yup, this stuff got expensive quick, as soon as Kodak discontinued. When they were still producing, before folks thought to shoot with it, they almost couldn't give it away. Now, the options are basically Dean's 120 rolls on an auction site, and FFP's new 35mm cartridges ($28/roll)


" I wish I could find medium format color infrared." Available, but not cheap:

Ed; "plus about 5-6 more in the freezer" -- I hope you've found what I have: the stuff is a whole lot less fragile than folks think. I've left rolls in the back of sealed cars for days, moved them from freeze to hot and back, and the results are still very good.


"must have been a clear day" -- Right after a summer downpour, so nice a clear throughout the valley!

Thanks all!

Shot these for a band looking for a CD cover. They liked Nash1. Taken with a Hasselblad, 50mm, and Konica infrared.

Thanks Lesek Vogt. A TLR is good for infrared work: no black viewfinder. The Seagull is rough Rollei copy at 10% of the price and it takes cheap 34mm filters instead of the nicer Rollei bayonet system.
