My first IR photo

My first IR photo

This is my first photo with IR film. I did not know what to expect, and had trouble with the film due to the curling. That said, I was surprised at the results, especially after trying to duplicate the effects with digital. This is a film scan, but I plan to wet print it in a few days. I was disappointed with the film in other ways, it had a rather bad scratch from one end to the other on the edge, and my camera has never scratched a negative before. I think it was the film, but further test will tell if that is true or not.

Very nice winter IR shot. I've had trouble with Efke IR films, but not Rollei film. Try some more and check your camera before deciding. I sure miss the old Kodak IR - best ever.
 
Thanks for the comment, this was my first IR experience, and I was rather happy with it, but I rushed it because it was only an experiment. I may have scratched the film, but I don't see how. I have owned the camera for about 3 years and never had any problems with it before. The curling does not bother me if I print wet, but it is a pain to get it flat on a flat bed scanner. I have another roll that I plan to expose this weekend. Thanks again for the comments.
