Steve -

You will want to do a little testing before shooting anything important.  This
is because I doubt that the Holga is infrared opaque, so simply placing your
camera in direct sunlight may fog the film.  Of course, this depends upon which
infrared film you decide to use, so you'll want to test the film in direct
sunlight before doing anything "serious."

John -

Thanks for sharing the picture (I oftentimes use the cyanotype process myself).

Suggestion.  As you can see, the long URL wrapped, which means that some people
might have had problems finding it.  You can also see the picture by going to
http://tinyurl.com/3ffp - there, I'll bet that didn't wrap. 

If anyone has a long URL that they are concerned will wrap, I would suggest
going to http://tinyurl.com/.  Very simply, you enter a long URL and receive a
short one.  Then you can include it in a message without worry about it
wrapping.  Of course, this is free.

Cheers -

I have done IR with my 35mm and my digital camera. If you have 2 piece of
unexposed E-6 film. Get them processed and sandwich them together, as a
filter. They work exactly the same as the wratten filter.

2002-12-10 Thread Steve Bell
that print is absolutely stunning! i love it!

so now i have to ask, you said you used and opaque IR filter? did you mount
it in front of the pinhole? or behind? i'm going to assume that you didn't
move it about in front of the pinhole if you rated the film at 3? it must
have been a lengthy exposure. please impart your knowledge.

i've recently crafted a pinholga myself, and i'm really interested in
trying this IR business.

congratulations on the wonderful image. and making a cyanotype was a great
idea.

cheers,

Steve
