Re: Digital Infra-red and filter questions.

["Jaap Los" <imagefotografie@xxxxxx>]

Frank,
What I miss in your infrared pictures is that grainy, rough and
characteristic atmosphere of a real HIE infrared film printed on a proper
fibre paper!  They are too smooth and too much technically perfect and have
no real soul. Which type of Coolpix did you use?  The color mode is in my
opinion too red/grey. The chosen subjects are interesting.
Greetings,

See also my infrared photography homepage at:

with lots of infrared photographs, some of them lith-printed.
