Hi :)

 

 

I'd like to ask a favour of any of you :

Can you give some comments on my pics ? These are my latest efforts at IR photography. I need to ask anyone if the highlights you see on the screen can be translated to paper ? My guess is no. I had some ' old man ' do prints for me, and the parts of the images where there was halation was totally blown out witn no trace of detail.

 

It could be his printing, cuz the rest of his printing is not too spectacular.

 

Could anyone put a guess at the amount I over-exposed by ? I scanned from a Nikon Coolscan LS-20 E straight and didn't adjust or play with the levels. I'd put my guess at 2 stops over, the HIE was rated at 50,sometimes at 10 if I remember corect (most reading from a Minolta 4F). I live in Singapore, which is in the tropics. I think there may be more red in the spectrum here than say in America where HIE's recommendations come from. Anyone else in the tropics with any thoughts ?
