Hello list,

I subscribed yesterday and this resulted in a request for a short biography
which you will find below. I'm new in the IR field. I bought my first IR film
(Kodak) last week and will start shooting on Friday. I'm using a Pentax P30
with a Wratten 29 filter. Has anyone any experience concerning the exposure
times using the TTL readings of the P30 with/without filter?

Greetings,

Marcel

- Profession/Study: Ph.D. student in nuclear physics at KVI Groningen

- Personal history of photography
  I started taking pictures about three years ago when I bought my first
  camera (that i still use). Initially I took color shots but since a year I
  switched to B&W.

- preferred subjects:
  Mainly three fields: nature (color & B&W), people (B&W) and the interference
  of mankind and nature (= rusty cars and overgrown ruined factories..)

- materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry):
  I use 35mm film, mostly Ilford HP5 and FP4 and Kodak TMAX, develop them in
  D76 and print them on PE-paper. I'm thinking of switching to Baryt-paper
  though.

- format (35mm/medium format/large format):
  35mm, as stated before..

- Other strange hobbies: I'll get back to that...

- How did you find out about this list:
  Through the 'Invisible Light' web-site

- Expand on anything photographic you like:
  For the record, my equipment: Pentax P30 and ME Super with 50mm/2.0 28mm
