Terrific, Andrew. 'Not experienced w/ IR, so I don't know how it comes into play w/ the late/early sun. The way the light hits the eves on the left side is impressive, as is the sky. I sorta see detail in the belfry & would bet money its clear on the print. For being abandoned, its still in good shape for now. Theres a larger version about 3 miles north of me - also abandoned.
'Have no idea how one meters for IR but by the looks of this - you sure do.
 
Really? I'd love to see the abandoned church near you!
Rollei is not so IR sensitive, so I just treat it like any film. EI 400, plus filter factor. Yes, there is plenty of detail in the belfry. I just prefer it printed down. Thanks for looking and commenting!
 
It's an interesting play tonally. Creamy tones for sure. The average user wouldn't know why its a nearly white tone the grass - is due to the IR film.
You timed it all perfectly including the wispy clouds.

I like it very much Andrew. Great work, keep it up.

Is there a twin to this shot taken with the sun behind you by chance?
 
I like the truck in the background (for some reason). IR not overblown, so looks natural.
Probably an interesting backstory for the church. It appears to be carpenter gothic which is normally an Episcopal/Anglican church (somewhat later, Presbyterean and others adopted that style). Suggest getting inside thru some contact since these churches have very photogenic open ceilings.
