My "Infrared" Experience | other techniques |

Great results can be achieved
with the Kodak HIE film if you follow Laurie White's recommendations: set
the exposure conditions at f/11, 1/125th second and use a red filter (Wratten
25). Most of your negatives will result correctly exposed without the need
for bracketing. You will also find that, by manually setting the film sensitivity
at 200 ISO, your exposure meter readings will be OK. This also means that
if you want to take pictures of subjects independently from their infrared
content you can remove your filter and adjust lens aperture and exposure times
as usual.
The Maco film is slower than
the Kodak one of about 2 stops so if you manually set the sensitivity at 50
ISO you can then play with this film in the same fashion as above.
Please note that these are suggestions on how to start shooting but since the amount of infrared light cannot be predicted correct exposure can only be obtained with the bracketing procedure. |
