    @nghiave Thank you. It's Color Infrared(Aerochrome) from Film Photography Project. It's pricy, but you can shoot it in full sun and no tripod and see through the filter - unlike b/w IR.

    I was a DSLR person for a while but I recently decided to go for film! I just got this camera and seeing what you can achieve with it is magnificent.
    Was this just the film? Did you use a filter? TELL ME MORE <3

    @travelita That's good to hear! I have 2 OM20's - they are both dedicated to IR. These color IR shots are film, basic editing on them(no color added). I use an orange filter, yellow will also work. I shot at iso 300 for a bit richer color and f16 - in full sun you can handhold that exposure so it's pretty easy to shoot compared to b/w IR. Full sun with some clouds is best, I prefer Red(foliage),White(clouds) and blue(water,sky) for the most interesting shots. I also used a circular polarizer to get better clouds, but a slim one would be best as that does add a lot of vignetting.
    I get my film here, they have similar info:

    Like I said, the best thing about IR photography is that you shoot it when all other photography is very poor.
