Some weeks ago I bought a film bundle at LSI-Store. As the package arrived there was this curious medium format film inside. Black and white and infrared? I thought of greenish pictures like infrared cameras make, but I searched for the film in the internet and saw some stunning pictures.
I loaded this film into my Diana F+ and went out for a walk through a graveyard and across a crazy backyard. When I got home, I recognised that I used the entire roll! Immediately I walked down to my favourite photographic laboratory, cause I was so exicted, I won’t wait any longer to see the results! One day later as I scanned the film, the pictures blew me away.The contrast is stunning and I love this special “aura”, that glows in my shots. I love the pictures of the statues in the graveyard, they almost look like phenomenons.
But here are some tips:
- Don’t be afraid try to overexpose the film, you will get more of those “aura”
- Maybe used with a red filter to increase the special effect
- Shoot at shiny days, this is no film for cloudy ones
I really like this film and I can’t wait to see new results!
