Re: HIE Survives Heat
a lot of the refrigeration requirements are overhyped. keep it out of the trunk in the middle of
death valley, process promptly. 20 years ago there were not a lot of materials that were stored in
refrigerators in camera stores. now it seems all the color stuff is. and the IR materials.
if you're shooting where you really need the exact consistency from roll to roll as in magazine
publication or exact scientific work, refrigeration makes sense. you'll usually buy a lot of the same
lot of film.

I have discovered a rather interesting fact about Kodak HIE Infrared. We all
know the admonishments to keep it cool. Well, a few weeks ago, I conducted a
nude figure workshop. One of the participants was shooting HIE for the first
time. She shot 3 rolls and then a week later, brought them to me for
development. I said something like "you've kept these in the frig, haven't
you?". She got this horrified look on her face and said they had been in her
car for 3 days. This was during a period when we had 90+ degree sunny days, so
who knows how hot the car got each day!
I was just going to toss them, but I had some other rolls to do in the JOBO,
so I thought I'd see just how bad they were. Imagine my surprise when all 3
rolls turned out fine! I can see no heat damage at all.
Who would have thunk it??
