Re: IR and flash

["Stan Patz" <skp113@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A cheap IR filter to place over your flash can be made from a piece of
E6 5x4 film unexposed and developed.  This is visually opaque, but
transmits IR quite well.  And it's a lot cheaper than an equivalent 87
filter.>>>>>>>
Besides not too many IR shooters
have unexposed 4x5 sheets of E6 film around, and not too many labs even
process the stuff. You might spend an hour calling/driving around trying to
get some free E-6 film scraps. Unexposed & developed E-6 will work, but
you'll loose some light output.  Be sure to allow at least an inch of space
inbetween the gel and the flash head to disappate the heat.

To the group,

If anyone wants to test a sheet or two of unexposed E6, Email me with your 
snailmail address.
