Another Kodak IR film shot from circa 2004. Not everyone's cup of tea type film, but I always had a good time using it.

I never shot with IR film, although I did a lot of B&W in my youth, and did all my own darkroom work. How does one develop and process IR?

couple things with Kodak IR film. First you had to load/unload it in the complete dark or in a changing bag, so that was fun sitting on a beach loading a roll of film by feel alone. Second you typically used a dark red or IR filter on the lens of your SLR. The dark red you could see through a little bit but was hard to focus (autofocus was not so good). The IR filter you could not see through at all and had to focus and than put the filter on (slow and tedious). Another issue was that you had to "adjust" your focus to allow for the IR light focusing on a different plane than visible light. Look at an old lens, see a red dot or line or something just a bit off the center focus line, you had to focus and than slightly adjust the lens to the point on the lens that was in focus visually is now lined up with that little red dot. Not a huge deal if you shot at f-8 or smaller, but a bigger deal wide open or shallow depth of field. Unfortunately, your effective ISO was in the 10-25 range so shooting f/8 was difficult. Final issue is you had no idea what the proper exposure was as a light meter doesn't usually account for the IR light we are trying to capture. So you just sorta guess and bracketed. Developing was just like any BW film and printing the same, just a very grainy image (usually)
