This is beautiful Andrew! I took some Konica film I had on my recent trip - I know I won't get anything like this since it was kind of the wrong season to use it, but hopefully I get a few good images out of it. I've noticed that it is not prone to fogging the way HIE is, even though it was discontinued far earlier.

Wow! A very ethereal mood that would be a great mural on the wall of an office/study -- relaxing to sit and contemplate.

Very nice.
My question is; Why does the only sky are not darker?
With a #29 and this amount of IR on the scene It should have been darker,No?

@Gaston 012 because the sky was not a deep blue. It was a very hazy summer afternoon.

@mooseontheloose thank you! I look forward to seeing your IR images!
@DWThomas thank you Thomas. It's fun to print in the darkroom, too. Grade 1 on Oriental.

Such a lovely image Andrew, I love working with IR films as well. I too was in Japan in the early and then late 90s. That is where I started into medium and large format photography. My favourite store was Camera no Naniwa in the Shinsaibashi district of Osaka. Boy did I ever drop a lot of yen in that place.

@PhotoBob thank you. I lived on Kyushu for 12 years. Japan is also where photography began for me. Visited Osaka a couple of times. I'm supposed to be in Japan right now, but...
