How about some infrared images

[Dan Dozer]

Dug this one out from a few years ago. Not easy shooting people with infra red film and a 1 minute exposure, but my model did a great job of holding still. Efke PL IR 820 AURA film and #87 filter.

Great image. Were there more than one exposure made? It's very intense. Like it a lot.

Slowly unpacking equipment from moving boxes after move to CA. Backyard deck view from our new house. Combination of visible & IR




Sinar F2 Schneider 210mm, F64. PhaseOne Powerphase scanning back without IR blocking filter.

Very nice, I could live with that.

After 25years living in Midwest country we just were not able to find anything within city limits - life is very busy, traffic is very heavy. So ended up on hilbilly side. Plus at this place I have anough place for studio.

Interesting, so, can that back make true IR? I know you said "combination" but, I thought if you removed the filter, you would get IR like any other IR film? I'm a little slow on digital LF gear so forgive my ignorance.

Did they have color IR in sheet film? I know they had roll film...

yes if you use Kodak #89B you'll get IR only, filter blocks visible part. I'll post pic when I'll get around.

CCD sensors can see much wider frequency range than most of films or human eye. Most digital cameras have IR cut filter permanently mounted straigh at top of sensor. PhaseOne and BetterLight backs do not have built-in IR filter, you have to use external.

If you look on the net you'll find a lot of IR enthusiasts removing IR filters drom DSLR's ...

IR/UV, polarizers and center filters can not be substututed by digital postprocessing for film or digital - they control fundamental image formation.

Wish they didn't get rid of HIE, alas

I made two basic exposures - this one with the water left alone with a mirror look to it and another with the water disturbed with "waves". While the upper half is obviously the same, the lower have changes things a little.

After that, it was so hot outside (middle of summer in Palm Springs), the photographer had to bail and go back indoors where the air conditioning was.
