Infrared B&W
May 9, 2020 09:15:02 #
I was inspired to revisit infrared photography when a friend showed me some of his from a camera he had converted. I have some of the screw-on infrared filters that fit only two of my lenses. The exposure at f8, ISO 100 is 30 seconds. This is long enough for the clouds to be blurred and the trees to show movement. The scenes are from a local park about a mile from home. Back in film days I enjoyed shooting with Konica infrared, which I think was 720 manometer sensitivity.

Nice. I too have shot IR film. Kodak High Speed something B&W IR and IR Ektachrome. Hand processing B&W IR is no picnic it is heat sensitive to your fingers. The B&W was likely 880nm and longer, to heat.
I also experimented with using IR glass and gel filters on my lens on a regular unconverted digital camera. One was a bridge and the other a DSLR. Crazy having to prefocus since the IR filter looks black to the human eye. I still have the several filters. Dont remember off hand but I am pretty sure I have ones close to 740nm, 850nm, 880nm, 900nm.
As I recall and still have those early digital images my exposures were long but not as long as your and had no subject movement issues. But had to keep the camera steady with say a tripod or against a solid brace like a post or rail. My exposures were more like ISO 200, f/4, 16s. I later bought and older DSLR to convert. These days an older MILC would be great for that. Good luck, keep it up.
