Brief Scenes

Who here has done infrared photography?

What helpful hints can you give me?
I have a Nikon FM2, a Nikon F100, and a roll of Kodak B&W IR film. I have a red filter, but I could spring for an IR filter if I need it.
No, I haven’t opened the film yet. I do know about handling IR film, as I bought it at a film counter where I used to work. And I know of someone who will develop the film, so all I need is what’s a good aperture and shutter speed combo to start with around noon on a sunny day.

I’m also a professional photographer don’t be afraid of wasting supplies. I would suggest you use your manual camera for this application because most of the consumer SLRs that detect your frame number do it using infrared technology which will expose your film. Your red filter will do fine but remember your focus point will shift slightly if you have older lenses there are actually lines on them for this purpose. Your film speed on IR Kodak is 50 ISO but don’t forget the two stop filter factor of a red filter. You will need allot of light and a tripod for your long exposures. Do some research as well but the info I just gave you should be enough to get you started. Oh yeah and make sure you can get it processed alot of places like the drugstores wont do it properly. I cant stress enough support your local camera store. Have fun
