Re: planning on photographing w/ IR this weekend?
Hi, there is a very good IR faq done by one LF guy, Clive Warren, it's at www.cocam.co.uk I think. Also, the W.J.Markerink's IR site: http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/ HTH, Frantisek BTW, Bill, it seems you like the hybrid IR results you get with only #25 red filter? You don't use a stronger red/ir filter like at least #29 or best #70? With these you can still focus but I guess it's de gustibus non est desputandum :) (no dispute over one's taste) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

There was a bit of obvious light-leakage though, although it's didn't bother me. If you're a purist carry around a spare black t-shirt and use that as a changing bag. you will only need to concern yorself w/ this for close-in shots and/or wide apertures at modest distance. tight apertures and distance basicly eliminate need for concern.

I made the mistake of shooting it at 100 and developing it at 400. I now have a roll of nice DARK negs too. actually, if you just use the guidelines ... f11@1/125th or equivalent w/ a #25 red filter and frame brightly-lit subjects w/ minimal shadowed areas, preferably w/ lowish angle sun from behind you and don't overdevelop - you'll have good results using a non-IR calibrated meter will lead you astray as often as not Make sure you load the film in the dark...and take it out in the dark.
