Reflecting Pond

The changing of the seasons reminded me that I need to get outside and use up my infrared film before the leaves fall off the trees! :-O Many thanks to my friend E. who helped set up these shots. I used an old roll of Kodak HIE that was supposedly damaged (you can see some of the backing paper on one frame) but overall, I was very lucky. Kodak HIE is by far my favorite infrared film. I love the ultra fine grain and the glowing white look that the lack of anti-halation gives it. We took the pictures in the morning at the Normandale Japanese Gardens at Normandale Community College.

    @jamescat22 it's more about the film than the filter. Kodak HIE does not have an anti-halation layer, which gives that glowing effect. It is very light sensitive, and easy to over expose. I find it on eBay, but I never hold out much hope for it, as it deteriorates without proper storage. I like rollei infrared as well, but that requires either a very heavy filter or very bright sun to get the classic IR look. Either film works great on very sunny days. That's why I needed to use it now!
