Military Graveyard

Taken of an old military graveyard near my town that was used by the British Army when they occupied Ireland. It's a very popular area for photographers. I was using Rollie IR 400 film for the first time and included this place. I used my Xpan II as it is a rangefinder camera and I can leave the filter in place for the entire time.

Very nice Vincent-it almost looks like a high contrast print from a negative,such as you get when developing Tech Pan in Dektol.
 
Very nicely done picture. A lot of graveyards feel very sad but this one feels more restful and at peace. A great picture.
 
Most excellent, Vincent! I'm glad you found an alternative to the Kodak HIE too.
 
Nicely seen.
 
This is great. I love how black the gravestones are against the grass. Like you, I am also trying to explore using Rollei for infrared work, but I haven't developed mine yet!
 
Thanks for your positive feedback everyone. Thomas I hope that this film is as successful and as good to me as the HIE was.

Thanks for your comments. As regards your development of the film a friend told me that it would be better to mix my developer 1+1 for the film shot on bright sunny days as it will reduce the contrast somewhat.
