Perfect subject for infrared. Those rolls of HIE must be getting a bit light on by now. It looks a bit like the giant cod that we have on the reefs over here.
 
Beautiful, Vincent! Love it.
And a very convincing print as usual.
 
Fantastic print. This has an almost human face but one that needs IR to have the full impact

As a great practitioner of Kodak HIE, it is a great pity that your material is no longer being supplied

Thanks for your comments folks. I often find that IR film can reveal human or animal like features in found objects e.g. trees. These are rarely apparent when photographed with normal B&W film. Tony, I have less than 10 rolls left at this stage.
 
It's going to be a sad day for all of us when your final rolls are gone! =( However, I have no doubt you will continue making great work. The key to the wonderful pictures of Vincent Brady is clearly Vincent Brady. =)
 
Thanks goldfinch & Shawn for your comments. I'm thinking Shawn when they are all gone maybe I'll work backwards looking for those shots that I might have overlooked the first time round.
 
Sounds like a good plan, one that we could all probably benefit from following. It's amazing how different negatives look when old expectations have fallen away.
