Spring blossoms in the park captured in the beauty of IR light. An explanation on how I achieved this effect in my story You Too Can Shoot Infrared Film!


Created using my Holga 120N with Efke IR820 B&W Infrared film. Photo scanned with an Epson Perfection V700. No digital manipulation other than dust & scratch removal.

    Another gorgeous shot. I suspect this would be stunning even without the IR, but it adds that "something" to it.
