Any Infrared photographers. Would be interested in developing and printing info or exposing info. I shoot Kodak 35mm film.

I have only used MF and LF infrared film so far, but most of what I know about IR is from here: http://www.cocam.co.uk/CoCamWS/Infrared/INFRARED.HTM

Pats,

I use HIE with a B+W 093 filter, TTL meter set at 1250 to 1600, and develop in Diafine or DiLuxol Vitesse. I suspect that the best meter settings for TTL use need to be adjusted by trial-and-error because different meters will respond to the filter differently. I modified a Pentax digital spotmeter for IR use, but rarely use it.

There was a previous APUG thread about developing HIE (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Best,
Helen

I have a "how to" on my website that may help. If you have any questions, feel free.

I shoot HIE with just a "plain" red 25 filter. My two major observations have been that:

1- with the red 25, you have more than enough visible light to not bother with focus adjustments

2 - if there's a lot of vegetation, I need to really, really pull my development. Vegetation in bright sunlight is _so_ IR reflective that I my highlights all but explode in my +1 stop bracket shots, and they're pretty hot at the indicated exposure, too. this is even with my tendency to rate HIE at 800 with lots of vegetation.

If you plan to tinker with different IR films and filters, you might find this table handy:

I have used Kodak IR film at 400asa developed in Rodinal 1:25 @ 20c for 9 minutes and got ok results.

Two books that I have and found to be very useful are Infra-Red Photography: A Complete Workshop by Hugh Milson and Advanced Infrared Photography Handbook by Laurie White Hayball. Lots of content around capture and film development.
