Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

On a week-long stay at the Faroe Islands, I took the ferry from Torshavn (the 'capital') to the southernmost island, Suduroy, and looked up potential shooting locations on the island. This image was t

An analogue memory from the Faroe Islands.

 

This image may need some explanation... For quite some years I brought two Mamiya 7 bodies with me, one loaded with colour film and the other with infrared film. Mounted on a tripod, using the same lens and same lens settings - including sufficiently large dof for both visible and ir-light - two closely matching images are captured. The images are then (manually) stacked in photoshop, easier said than done, this one..., and after some blending and layer adjustments and similar exercises, a quasi-coloured infrared image emerge.

 

The end result vary from the most boring to more interesting. Personally I like this one, taken on one of the rare sunny summer days on the Faroe Islands (apologise for any Faroe readers, but a sunny day is not the rule in the midst of the northern North Atlantic). Personally, I like the mix of the dramatic sky (from the ir-capture), the greenish tint from grass moving in the wind (from the colour capture, obviously) and the characteristic Faroe sea/fjord/mountain landscape.

 

The procedure is interesting in that you hardly know what to end up with. The hit rate obviously increases after repeated error & trial, but it is still hard to know what the computer will bring forward.

 

But fun it is...

 

Mamiya 7 with 43mm. Fuji Provia 100 + Maco IR 820c w B+H 092-filter.

 

(And yes, you can of course follow a similar procedure with digital captures. But my preference is for film.)

Excellent, Helged. The surreal property that is immediately apparent on first view is explained by the process - Beautiful.

and a portra 400 shot at 1600 and channeling the inner-early-70s guy when this type of color deconstruction was considered cool -- all about translating the mood --

Helged thank you for your reply . It's important to know the size of your film picture

when you scan.

It determines the quality of your picture about details and color . I always Scan in TIFF with my scanner

and save in TIFF in a HD . If you don't develop and scan yourself ,after dev. your lab  save your pictures

in one CD in compressed JPEG , not in TIFF , because in Tiff it's too large, needs

a long time to save and not enough space for one CD , according to my Leica Store Lab.

 

Best

Henry
