greek independence day on infrared film

Well, it was Greek Independence day yesterday, a.k.a. The Big Military Parade day, lest we forget that we need to buy tanks & planes.

It was a good time to shoot some infrared film. Here it is, Rollei Infrared 400, with the Contax G2 and the 28mm lens.

athens half-marathon on infrared film

Yesterday morning was a Sunday half-marathon day in Athens. I decided to load up the Contax G2 with infrared film (Rollei Infrared 400), put on an IR72 filter, and try to get some light and shadow play.

I shot three films in two hours, swapping between 1/250 & F/8 and 1/125 & F/11. Developed in HC-110(B) for 11 minutes at 22 Celsius.

It was a quite busy environment and I think I will need to adjust my exposure next time, over-expose by at least one stop.

Here are the contact sheets, as well as selected images.
