Kodak HIE in Pinhole Cookie Tin
A couple weeks ago I found boxes of 8X10 Kodak High Speed Infrared film for sale. The film has not been manufactured since 2000, and this batch was dated "Use by April 1999". I made an offer on a box and received it last week.
Tests with it have been frustrating; the Deardorff apparently cannot be sufficiently shielded from IR leakage to be usable, so yesterday I resorted to placing a sheet in my 8X10 Cookie Tin pinhole camera, using the Lee opaque IR filter over the pinhole. I let the exposure go from noon to 6PM. The film shifted inside the camera at least once - likely due to the tin warming in the sunlight, but hey - I got this!
