Infrared Week Part 7

Our final instalment of Infrared Week is an image of Clifton Suspension Bridge. Foliage turns white and the grass resembles snow. The stonework of the bridge appears a dark grey. This is my favourite image of Infrared Week, and so I have saved it until last 🙂 Mamiya C220 camera with Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 lensContinue reading “Infrared Week Part 7”

Infrared Week Part 5

Part five of Infrared Week takes to Ashcott, just west of Glastonbury. The site of the former Glastonbury Canal is now given over to marshland, some of which is preserved and used for birdwatching. This boardwalk takes visitors on a journey over marshes and through beds of reeds. Mamiya C220 camera with Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8Continue reading “Infrared Week Part 5”

Infrared Week Part 2

And so we kick off the first picture of Infrared Week with this photo of the building perched on the edge of the Avon Gorge. In infrared, grass appears white and blue skies appear dark. Buildings are mostly unaffected and the picture has an odd effect where it looks like some things are in negative.Continue reading “Infrared Week Part 2”

Infrared Week Part 1

Spring has sprung, and there is more infrared radiation in the sunlight. You can tell because it’s warm! I’ve been saving some infrared film in the freezer since last summer, and I’ve finally had a chance to shoot it in my dedicated infrared camera – a Mamiya C220 TLR. In the past I’ve shot infraredContinue reading “Infrared Week Part 1”

Another go at infrared

Getting the exposure right with infrared photography is notoriously hard. Last time I tried infrared, back in Spring, I made a roll of widely bracketed shots and compared them to meter readings of visible light. I calculated that whatever the meter said, I needed to add 9 stops[1]. Having come up with this value IContinue reading “Another go at infrared”

Infrared over Troopers Hill

I’ve tried infrared photography a few times in the past with varying success. But one thing that I’ve always found is that infrared film is a lot grainier than regular black & white film, so you end up with a relatively low resolution picture. To work around this, I’ve tried using medium-format infrared film inContinue reading “Infrared over Troopers Hill”

Shooting with Efke IR820 infrared film

Background I’ve dabbled in infrared photography a few times, originally using Maco 820c. The results were varied and I didn’t shoot it often enough to get a good feel for it. More recently, I bought some Efke IR820. If you’re reading this post, you presumably know vaguely about the film already, so I won’t goContinue reading “Shooting with Efke IR820 infrared film”
