Clouds over Eggemoggin Reach - IR Film

Taken August 12, 2024.

 

Toyo 45G Fujinon A 240mm/9. Rollei Infrared 400 film. Hoya 720nm IR filter - 5 stops exposure compensation. 1/8s F16.

 

Standard development in Rollei Supergrain developer 1:12 for 7 minutes.

 

This has been sitting on the desktop for some time - there were technical difficulties developing the negative, but I like the overall look of the image.

 

There is a substantial anti-halation layer on the Rollei IR film which must be washed off. The exposed film sheet sits on a rack in the developing tank, held in place by tabs around the edges - I suspect that the film was not adequately washed around the edges, and so the border is underdeveloped. In addition, it was a real struggle for my hazy 240mm lens to shoot into the bright blue sky at F16, so there is some faint mottling.
