Delicious Ambiguity

There is nothing like the mystery of infrared film, you can shoot it for years but what comes out of the tank once developed is always a surprise and FPP's IR B/W film is no different.

 

Visually to my eye I did not think there was much IR getting through the spotty cloud cover, yet once again I was fooled by the delicious ambiguity that is IR film. Even the unfiltered base test pulsates as the weird and wild that is infrared,

f8 - 4 sec.

 

Tiffen 87 IR filter, this filter is totally black to the naked eye, it only transmits IR wave lengths.

 

Developing: Diafine 4 + 4, room temperature.

 

Camera: The recently dropped while carrying it to the shoot site, Olympus OM4t, Zuiko 50mm f1.8. I chose the OM because most of their lenses are 49mm thread and my 87 is a 49mm. It seemed to be fine after the drop it stones.
