Some old work

For a time I did a fair amount of work with Kodak IR film. Both 35 mm and 4X5.
Here are 3 from a small circus series I shot. Nikon FM2, 70-200, f2.8. flash covered to cut visible light.

Girl on trapeze. This was from a summer circus camp.

I liked working with IR. So grainy. The look a bit off.

Working with the Kodak IR was fun.
I got lucky having the Nikon. A friend had a Minolta, I think, the pressure plate had a honeycomb pattern. Because the film has no antihalation layer he ended up with that pattern in skys and other broad swaths of film.
