I found a really cool tumblr that features old(er) photographers and their photographs. (LINK) Unfortunately, it seems the site is becoming abandoned.
At any rate, I came across Toni Schneiders, and this photo. My guess is it's infrared, and most likely Kodak HIE (don't know what other IR film was available in 1959).
My question is, can this be done today with what's available film-wise? It seems any IR film from recent years isn't nearly what K-HIE was, and I would think any HIE that's still out there isn't really any good (and I'm not going to spend $100 on a roll of film that is decades old to find out).
Assuming the car is moving, wouldn't a #25 or a #87 filter be needed, and that would extend the exposure time to be too long to not have the car blurred, correct? I can't see this having been burned and dodged in the darkroom, as the black sky is so even across the image, and nothing I can see where the bridge wires/parts meet the sky.
So again, can this be duplicated with today's available emulsions?
