I only discovered your channel a few days ago and I just finished binge watching all of your videos and now this one pops up. Perfect timing. Great stuff!
Stunning photos! I have a roll of Rollei Infrared film that is 200 iso. I had no idea that I should set my camera up to meter this film at 12 iso. I use a Nikon F4. Thank you for the video!
Great video as usual Tom. My favourite would have to be the chapel shot at 3:05. I have shot a couple of rolls of Rollei IR400 on the SQA, rated it at 12 ISO and developed in my usual developer (Ilfotec LC29). The lack of obvious grain surprised. It seems to have less grain than Rollei RPX400 (my usual B&W film.) Incidentally I have discovered that in the eucalypt bush that I have close to me in Melbourne, sun is essential to get the glow from the eucalypt leaves. I shot a roll on a cloudy day, and the ones where the sun was behind a cloud turned out as though they were a 'normal' b&w shot. Perhaps that is a characteristic of our leaves. :) BTW I grew up in Norfolk before coming to Australia. I look forward to seeing some shots.
Thanks David I’m really pleased with the chapel images. I will probably try rating the film at 12 iso next time to compare with the shots at 6 iso. It’s grain is very fine for a 400 speed film, I also love the fact you can use it as a normal film when you wish, it’s a very versatile film. I have not tried shooting Ir a cloudy day so will definitely save it for the full sun. Many thanks Tom.
Been looking to try infrared film. Your video serves as a great inspiration for that. There certainly is a very special push in ir-images, if done right. One could do with a bit of that kind, once in a while...
Have you got a heat wave, Tom? No jumper or beanie?! Enjoy these experimental IR photos. Your camera- the more I see your images I can see how crisp it is! Loved this vid mate, as always. Enjoy Norfolk!
Nice countryside you have there. Didn't think you could stack a graduated ND filter on top of the R72. Interesting. Have to keep that in mind. Good shots. How do you develop the infrared film?
Thanks Alfred I wasn’t sure myself if you could stack the filters, I think they turned out ok and is something I would do again. I developed in Rodinal 1:25 for 8.5 mins @ 20 degrees. Many thanks Tom 👍
You have really quaint places to photograph in Cornwall. I've come accross them in Yorkshire too. Sadly we don't much similar over here in Ireland or maybe I'm not looking hard enough or maybe familiarity does breed contempt?
I used an infrared filter ir72 combined with rollei infrared film. It’s definitely worth a go it’s fun and you can get some really interesting results. All the best Tom.

Thanks very much I really appreciate that. Many thanks Tom 🙏
Well done, Sir. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing pics and interesting tutorial. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Thanks very much 🙏
Some excellent shots there, very ethereal
That was incredible!
Thank you 🙏
Excellent as usual Tom. I've got a converted infrared digital camera. Love using it in bright weather with some big clouds.
Thanks Peter I’m loving shooting IR it’s a great option for the summer.
Really enjoyed this, lovely images, not something I have tried yet but would like to give it a go.
Enjoy Norfolk!
Thanks Kate definitely give it a go it’s really fun and the images are always a bit different. Many thanks Tom 😊
I am rewatching some of your videos. Looking forward to seeing some new film photography videos. Hope you are well.
Thank you 🙏
Great shots!
Thanks Dominique.
x Thumbs up for your great shots 😄. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you 🙏

I'm getting an Ansel Adams vibe with this set Tom. I really like the punchy images and recognise most of the locations too. 🙂
Thank you 🙏

Thanks Pete it’s absolutely boiling here I think it hit 16 degrees 🤣🤣
It’s great fun shooting IR you never know what your going to get.
@@tomwhelan 16 degrees? I'm surprised you weren't burned to a crisp!
@@acecreates haha probably colder than your winter night temperatures 🤣
What filter are you using?
Great photos by the way.
Thanks very much it’s a Hoya infrared R72 filter. Many thanks Tom.

It’s a beautiful place, but I would love to photograph the Irish landscapes one day.
What filter did you used? Interesting effect.

Hi thanks for the video. Presume this is Rollei IR film. Do you send this to a lab and what process do they use?
Hi Mark yes it’s Rollei IR. I developed this at home in Rodinal for 8.5 mins @ 20 c.
All the best Tom.
Thanks for that
