If ever a DJ block needed to be buried in the dirt and forgotten about, this is it. The circles didn't turn out very smooth. I have NO IDEA how to make the melons look good. I used regular applique on the melons and didn't have the right color of thread. I didn't really get how to make sure the melons were lined up in the right place, so I just eyeballed it. Mistake! They weren't in close enough so the block had to be cut too large.
If this were Project Quiltway, Tim Gunn would rightly proclaim this block a hot mess. I'm going to ear mark it for replacement, but can't even contemplate that right now.

The final shot in the tenth film used for a photography course. There was no theme except to explore the effects of using infrared sensitive film.
The film was Kodak Professional High Speed Infrared Film, used at a notional ISO rating of 200. Being unable to find any suitable filter that cost less than £50 and didn't have to come from Japan, I improvised with a small inherited red filter (Actina optically worked "chance" glass "planoptic" filter [their quotes, not mine]). I thought it might be a bit orangey, but it looked about the same as the Wratten 25s I'd seen (now reading the ragged paper round it suggests it might be supposed to be orange, assuming it's in the original wrapper [which knowing this family...]. Oh well).
So I have a filter which is an inch across, and a lens which is notionally 62 mm. Not going to happen.
Unless... yes, I jury rigged it onto the protective ring on the rear element of the lens, using masking tape. I was a bit wary about doing so, especially given this section moves when the zoom is used, and that when the zoom is at the furthest extension, the tunnel inside the casing suddenly widens.
But it was fine (ish). I just didn't try shaking it. The one ish was because when the zoom is zoomed out, the rear element is proud of the casing (which is how I got the filter on there). However, on a couple of occasions once the mirror had come up, it didn't drop back down as normal until I either moved the zoom or shook it slightly. It was only the merest of snags - probably on a folded bit of masking tape that was sticking out - however, I decided that breaking my camera might not be the best idea, so I stopped using the very widest angle.
And one advantage of not going out to buy a hideously expensive proper infrared filter is that I could see what I was doing.
Admittedly that still doesn't mean it's in focus, but for that I blame the infrared, which as it has a different wavelength (technically range of wavelengths) to visible light, also focuses slightly differently. There is a way round this; obey what all the IR photography websites say, and use the infrared adjustment mark on your lens. Blithely say, I should add, as mine doesn't have one of those, and without wishing to resort to calculating it afresh by using the refractive indices of the lens elements and interstitial spaces (which I don't know), I decided that some of the incoming radiation was visible light, so I'd focus that.
And as the contact sheet shows, knowing how much to stop up or down by to get the best exposure might also have helped (as would not taking green on green).
But considering the multitude of errors and amendments made, I'm just glad (and surprised) that there are any results at all.
Anyway, this shot isn't especially infrared (I wanted to see how masonry differs under IR. The answer is it doesn't much), but I was running out of subjects, and it's better than turning the other way to take the multistorey I was standing on.
