Hi All,
I got my film back from the lab - the test roll. I shot a few images without the filter at apx 4 sec bulb (holga shutter), a few shots with an orange filter and a few shots with the infrared IR 720 opaque filter. The strange results yield this - i get a faint image with the orange filter, but it's mostly clear with speckles of black. (from the sky surrounding tree folliage)... Most of the roll was clear! My question is this - I am getting very confused. If the roll of this Konica is clear, does this mean that I did not expose the film for long enough (4 seconds / some shots were double exposed and were still clear)... Or... That the images were exposed for too long! I got a very faint 'something' with an orange filter... this film is super expired (yes, I know I shouldn't but I do, the film is from 2000 but has been sitting in the fridge). I know the camera works with Black and White and Ektrachrome because the lab processed that... OR do you think their developing times on the infrared were set for too long.
I still have 2 rolls of infrared I have not processed and shot in Wyoming, and I am fearful if I do, it will be clear again . Furthermore, I would still like to continue to shoot infrared because I have this unsused film, and would prefer not to toss it. I just need to figure out if I should be giving 15 second exposures on a clear or cloudy day.... instead of 4 second exposures
Thanks so much
Lili
