i just picked up a few rolls of ektachrome infrared slide film to play with. pricy at $20 for a single 36 exp. roll! anyway does someone have experience with it?

I know our own Coffinnail and Jgrant have used it, you may wanna PM them, as I don't think they are on this board.

ORANGE FILTER.

This is Kodachrome EIR colour IR film yeah?

my experience with colour has been limited but:
* make sure the pressure plate in your cammera is smooth and doesn't have cut outs for data printing or dimples as these will come out on the film as ghosts.
* if you have a film window in your camera back - seal it. I've preped one with alfoil and tape
* bracket bracket bracket
* if it's your first roll, play around with gells and filters over the lens - I bought my rolls orriginally for some LSD-ish pics and things like fluro filters, blues purples and strong cyan filters shift the colours around a fair bit i.e. green sky, red trees, yellow clouds,pale blue people etc

has anyone used EIR at night - i havn't been game to try just yet - might get some cool spot effects by street lights as moonlight doesn't have much IR aparently

hope this helps - post up the pics when you get-em back!

an interesting idea, buy an IR filter for a flashlight (surefire has them for most of their lights) and IR light paint with it. just an idea.
