How about some infrared images

[Jim Cole]

Up at SFU one Spring morning. Efke IR 4x5.

Andrew,

A very nice image!

Thank you, Jim.

Finally I got a usable negative...only took me like 20 sheets to figure out what I was doing. I used a Marumi IR700 filter (I was using an 820nm filter before which was incorrect and screwing up my results). Still isn't as enchanting as most of the images you IR vets have posted (really love the fences scm!). Anyway, here it is, taken with a Nikkor 120/8 with lots of rear tilt with Efke's IR820 AURA film and developed semi-stand with Rodinal 1:100:

How about some colour IR? I started to experiment with Aerochrome in 4x5 size. This is the first usable photo so far. Film expired in 2006 and was at least some time in cold basement instead in freezer, and therefore it developed some red fog, that is fortunatelly easy to remove in Photoshop.


Devil's Tower was a garden pavillion to Soteska castle, that is now in ruins. I was there in the middle of snow storm. I was actally surprised, that ivy's leafs responded to IR light in such condition. 135mm, Kodak Aerochrome III, yellow filter. I run out of the image circle, so some PS trickery was used in upper right corner (not very succesfully)

A couple from Niles Canyon Rail Yard near Sunol, CA. We had a Bay Area LF meetup.com get-together there, and I shot some IR. I think I need to heed the suggestion that Efke "Aura" doesn't need a pre-soak, since I've had some very mottled negatives. These two turned out OK:


f/45 and 12 seconds. 200 M-Nikkor.


That blurry blob is a steam locomotive heading out. f/16 at 1 second, 80SSXL.

Sinar P2 + Fujinon W 210mm f/5.6
Efke IR 820c + #87 filter (overkill, but the only filter I have)

Ilike it! O don't think it is overkill but it was not my vision that saw the image so you are the real judge.

Oh I just mean the filtration. With Efke films, they don't see as far into the IR spectrum, so the extra filtration is just adding to the already long exposure times. Switching to an R72 filter in the next week or so, since I'm currently rating this film ~ ASA 1.5.

I like this a lot.
