The Tree For Me

Film: Rollei Infrared 400

400iso

 

Format: 120 Medium Format 6x6

 

I've been at it again with the Rollei Infrared 400, but in medium format this time. I can't describe how much I am in love with this film. I want to shoot it all the time. I've never felt that way about a film before lol. I also just want to live inside the magical results it delivers.

 

This shot was the only one I took of this magnificent oak tree in a field full of wheat so I'm very pleased. Afterwards I lay resting in the shade it provided from the hot sun and it truly felt like heaven on earth. So so peaceful. Not another living soul around...
