A Gallery of photographs going back 40 years to when I first began using a camera. I remain committed to traditional photographic methods using the same equipment I learned on back in the 60's and 70's.
This is infared. I used some Kodak HIE for the first time a year ago and really liked the results. A lot of the photos in my blog have been taken with infrared film.
I'm just now noticing that, after taking a look at Lone Fir Tree 2006.
I like infrared, but it seems I can never travel with it anymore, because airport security gets really upset when I ask them not to open the canister. For some reason, they don't seem to care that it's going to ruin my film. :)
Exposing the canister to low light does create some fog on the first few negatives. The Konica version which I've used in a 120 format doesn't have that problem, there is also an ilford brand SFX200 I just got some, but haven't tried yet. As I understand it's only the Kodak HIE film that recommends loading in total darkness. I load in a subdued light in my darkroom and just advance the film further in the camera sacrificing the first couple of exposures. Light fog though can sometimes give an interesting effect.
