How about some infrared images

[Jim collum]

9.5" Veritos, Betterlight scanning back
(no IR block filter, so a combination of IR and visible light)

34 second scans
(these were tests to try out a studio Head Brace that Robert Hall made for me)

Hi Evan

Do you have any problems with the holders allowing fog onto the film
My wife did a lot of Kodak IR and we bought her a 4x5 and she would love to do IR again and your results are quite nice.
Also do you have a link where I can see more of your large format IR.

This stuff is really excellent.. Never had a sheet fog, it tolerates summer heat..I love it. Luckily I have around 500 sheets.

I'll send some examples. I was digital in 1997. I gave it up around 2006 and went back to film exclusively. No scanning anymore, I make stuff on my ipad. Email me or PM your email and I will send more. You should come to Photostock this year..Many of us would like to meet you

Jim, thanks for great proof of concept! Looking at images - they are pretty sharp, most of softness comes inherit lens character from and not from subject movement. So head brace is may be not strict requirement.

Bob, I emailed some more example of the Aura. I also have a successful metering method but it's scribbled on a little card I carry. I'll write it up properly and post it here.

Stone, You can show prints of your mf negs in the lounge without breaking any rules.... love to see them.

thanks for commenting Victoria!
With a scanning back, the movement won't show itself in softness.. it becomes a wavy distortion. (these image were taken with the brace). Shortest scan time for full res is 34 seconds.. which is a long time to hold the head steady without any movement at all.

Nice ones, Jim! Surreal... ghost-like.

Ok, I'll try and do it tonight. There wasn't much in the way of IR sensitive stuff as it's just getting over winter, and because it was a very dismal day, the IR was low, but still it was good to see, the most interesting thing was when I compared the IR from the 092 and R72, it first appeared that the 092 had a lot more, and then by clicking back and forth between the two, I realized the IR was the same and the 092 just let in more normal light and the image was exposed brighter, but it was an optical illusion, because of the brighter image it seemed like the IR was higher. It was really interesting to see how the mind plays tricks on you.
