C-41 Infrared Test #1

Infrared Test #1 with standard C-41.

I figured like with digital cameras, in a consumer product you can't remove all susceptibility outside the visible spectrum, just have several stops of difference.

R72 Filter used, +14.5 stops for 'filter compensation' to get this effect.

I was considering lowering C-41 pH to reduce reds.. but the reds weren't as bad (overly dense) as I thought it would end up. Which is good.

density range of both blue and green is very thin, needs more exposure, and probably a blue and green filter added to the mix.

Definately seems to be an IR effect there.

Film was ISO 400 35mm, old cheap unknown brand stuff with no ID on the frames.

Scanned with levels set on each channel to include no clipping at all, then auto-levelled after to expand it. Just to see it as a 'balanced' image (regardless of false colour..)

Test #2 will include the colour filters.

A high contrast film may be significantly better for this given how the blue and green channels looked... probably less expansion needed.. means less noise, lower grain contrast (less grain perception).

That's pretty cool and wonky at the same time. What will you do with it?

(As an aside, can you edit out the dust?)
 
I could but that seems a pretty big one, I would have cleaned it, and used infrared scanning P) to get a mask of the dust to remove it with.

Anycase, its just a test image
