Show us yer film shots then!

Thanks Trevor, I will keep them coming....

Thanks Andrew, it,s certainly worth looking in to.. loads of help out there.
 
Hi guys, thanks for your interest and comments on my shot. The film is sensitive up to 820nm, the filter, Cokin 007= to wratten 89B cuts out all light below 720nm leaving the film only exposed to light from 720nm to 820nm. This makes the sky and water black and foliage white. This is another shot taken on the same day.

Welcome to TP phil and of course F&C!

Liking your posts...hope to see more!

I wouldn't mind having a dabble at some IR shots myself ....not sure which camera I would use and as yet, understand very little about IR.

Do you have any links to decent read ups ......camera set ups, filters, developing etc ....I suspect there is a mass of info out there, always easier if someone can offer some decent pointers though.....

Hi Asha. I find one of the pleasures of IR photography is its unprodictability. IR is virtually impossible to meter, different amounts at different times of the day or year give different results. There are no hard and fast rules to follow, its a learning curve for which every photographer has different results, opinions. Me, I, when using Efke IR820 film, take most shots at F16 one exposure at 1\2sec and one at 1sec, usually one or the other is about correct.

Regarding developing I use ID-11 @ 20c 7.5mins inverting once every 30secs.

I found reading about IR on the internet full of contradictions and only gave me a headache, best get out and give it a try.

Thanks for that info Phil.....Some IR film already added to my shopping list ...for some reason it's a list that never seems to get any smaller!! :D :D
 
Asha, I've got some Rollei IR 4x5 if you want a couple of sheets?

Thank you Ed, ......not sure what camera I would use em in yet as all mine are 9x12, quarter, half or whole plate :eek:..fortuanatly i'm a dab hand at manipulation....well when it comes to film anyway!!:D :D

Nonetheless i wouldn't mind a bit of a play around with IR so please feel free to drop me a pm if you wish :thumbs:
 
The Rollei IR film is nice to use, results are a bit more stable than the Efke IR820 though it lacks some of the dream like qualities of Efke.
 
Finally got round to scanning all my negs in from the last few weeks.

Here's a few, all with Ektar 100 which was my first go with it, not sure if i prefer this or Portra but they seem to have nice colours.

Hmm. I processed my last roll, and while the terribly inadequate scanner doesn't help i can't help but feel that i'm just not enjoying the results. I might need to rethink... something.

Great tones and clarity throughout, congratulations.
 
Hi, two shots the first taken with Efke IR 820 film the second taken with Rollei 400 IR film. Both were taken with a Mamiya RB67 using a 720nm filter and processed n ID-11. comments and your preferences would be appreciated, thanks.

Tbh I find myself drawn more to the second one...having said that my view may change once i have a dabble at IR myself and see what results i get myself:nuts:
 
No. 2 for me .

Just love the definition and subtle IR

wwwphil thos IR film shots are stunning.
 
This shot of Cimiez Monastery here in Nice was taken in February 2011 using a Six-20 Folding Brownie ......c.1950

The local observatory can also be seen on the skyline.

Hi, good shot with good tones throughout and taken with a camera that's older than me! Fashions come and go but quality lasts for ever.

Many thanks... If you're interested by cameras much older then take a look at my 52 film challenge with 52 different cameras.

By the way your biography in your profile is just brilliant!! lol

And a billy bonus of the celtic cross in the wall that runs alongside the path down to the beach!

Two good shots using film I don't do very well with, I don't know why my shots using Acros 100 always turn out flat and toneless.

I always use rodinal for it and it seems to work quite well. I have decided to stick with acros and hp5+ as my 2 films though so I can get to know their characteristics.

Here in Brazil can only get ID-11. Mail order is out of the question for chemicals.:'(
 
Thanks to everyone who commented on the two IR pics I posted, your comments were most interesting.
 
Nice mix of shots. A little clockwise rotation on the Tower Bridge shot would make it better, although I imagine that's also partially distortion from the wide(ish) angle lens.

Those C-41 B&W films seem to offer a lot of flexibility and very good results.
 
They're certainly not dull Rob. Liking the sun reflecting off The Thames in the second, great texture. The other two work well too, good work :thumbs:
 
Ta peeps.

After (many) years of sticking to FP4 and HP5 for b/w I'm rather enjoying it. Seems easier to get what I was visualising in my head when I opened the shutter.
