    @kakao_026 Thanks!
    @boooya No. This is normal 1/100 or whatever the normal speed of Sprocket rocket is. The thing is that the film was Push-processed with about two stops, but apparently this is not enough :-D
    A 720nm IR filter was used for the IR effect.

    hmm so i guess 800 ISO for daylight shots would be more ideal when shooting IR. did you set up your shot and just simply hold the filter over the lens or did you tape it on so no light could get in?

    @boooya AFIK this film is available only in 400ASA speed. That's why I tried push-processing.
    The filter was taped in place for convenience. I didn't pay much attention to stray light, since the filter covers the front element with a large margin.

Sofia

Sofia

Sofia's the kind of city you need to walk to really get. You'll stumble upon Roman ruins alongside tram stops, bustling markets filled with fresh produce, and elderly men engrossed in chess games in the parks. The mountains loom in the background, a constant presence. Lived-in and unhurried, it’s full of small moments waiting to be captured by a photographer's lens.
