You have a number of routes available:
- Digital via the conversion that involves taking the IR filter from in front of a digital sensor – as covered in the links but you get handheld duration exposures
- Digital with non converted camera by placing R72 deep red / IR only passed light filter on the front of the lens. I’ve not tried this but it will result in long exposures – think. Can someone correct me if my assumption is not correct
- BW film using the likes of Kodak HIE film coupled with R72 filter. This is the traditional method. If you go down this route you MUST MUST handle the cassette in total darkness at all times. Even when tranferring from tub to camera – else 24 of 27 exposures will be fogged. You can purchase Kodak HIE infra-red film from http://www.7dayshop.com . I think that you can also by BW IR file from http://www.retrophoto.co.uk or similar web address. BW IR film is BW process again with the film handled in TOTAL DARKNESS at all times – you must instruct the processor that this is the case becuause some commecial labs use IR illumination inside the darkroom…
- Color IR using Kodak EIR film. This gives a false color return that is not particularly useful for pictorial work but great for crop surveying. This film is E6 slide process. To get a ‘proper false color return’ you must use a deep yellow filter.
Hey Folks,
Thanks for both of your replies. Im gonna give it some serious reading over the next few days.
Thanks again,
Alan
