Nice video, I shot the Kodak IR film about 35 years ago when I was in the DCC. I also had a digital IR exhibition in my local library, I was competing with Martin Parr who was in the Arts Center at the same time.
Great video, I’ll definitely take on your advice. I’ve had a few failed attempts at shooting IR film. 1st attempt was with a 760nm filter instead of a 720nm (which I wouldn’t recommend). 2nd attempt was based on advice to shoot 1sec at f8 in bright sunshine which resulted with massively over exposed negatives. In my third attempt I’ll definitely meter at ISO 6 and develop at box speed. Out of interest, did you bracket your shots?
A 760 nm could work with something like Rollei IR400 because it can see up to about 780-790! Definitely worth keeping the filter if you still have it. You can shoot the same film with a 720 nm filter but you'll get a stronger IR effect with the 760, at the cost of longer exposure times. I didn't bracket in this case, even if a couple of the shots would have benefitted from it. I was advised to just "roll with it" for this combo at ISO 6ish and it mostly worked out.
@@Shaka1277 I did try the 760nm filter with Rollei IR400 but it was massively underexposed. Maybe in the future I will give it another crack. The filter I used was a cheap chinese Zomei filter, it is difficult to find any data on this filter but if I give it another go in the future I'm guessing I would probably need to compensate my exposure by about 10-12 stops.
Yep, I don't meter through filters! It would be fine for something like an ND filter, but for any filter that filters out colours, metering through the filter is only definitely okay when you meter off of something that's pure grey. I prefer to use the filter factor of my filters as-is, or test them, but not meter through them. My light meter also isn't sensitive to IR light so it wasn't possible in this specific case. I just set the ISO on my meter 5(and a third) stops slower than the film's native ISO!

Very jealous of that!
the bridge shot is amazing! you should try b/w slides like adox scala
One day, definitely!

@@cameronwilson8561 Yikes! I think a friend has a 760 nm filter so I may try borrowing it from him to test that out myself.
when you said you metered at ISO 5, was that while not metering through the R72 filter?

ahhh a chubbyemu watcher
In my next video we will perform a simple science experiment. 🙌
