North Beach July 11
Looking at different interpretations of this scene, trying to hone in on what I want it to be.
I don't know why I keep lamenting the loss of Kodak's HIE, and thinking of Rollei IR as a weak facsimile. I've realized something: the Rollei film is more versatile, sharper, far more capable of preserving high value detail, and with a bit of careful effort, it can produce images similar to what HIE gives. I've compared this photo to the one I made last week (flic.kr/p/2m97GP9) using a very old roll of HIE, and this image is in many ways superior to the one made with HIE. I guess things aren't so bad after all. ;-)
This round is made with the Kodak Medalist II and Rollei IR 400, processed in Xtol.
This was a 5 minute exposure at f16.
