- Expand on anything photographic you like: I had an abortive first attempt
at IR years ago after being inspired by Simon Marsden's "The Haunted Realm"
book of IR pics. I was put off by the loading hassles of Kodak HS film, but
last year decided to have another go after I discovered Konica film wasn't
as sensitive. Then I found that my Canon EOS 100 "wasn't suitable" due to
the IR frame counter so things went on hold again. I've just had to buy a
second-hand Nikon F-601 to fit an 8 mm lens for an Ipix panorama shoot, so
I'm determined to use it to have another go at IR in 99!
