I thought about not posting these photos because I don't like the result, but my friends say they are awesome and should be shared. Technically, I tried to repeat the technology of Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky from the middle of the 19th century. When three images are taken through red, green and blue filters, they are superimposed and a color image is obtained. But I'm too fond of photos on the Kodak Aerochrome, so I added an infrared filter to the trichrome. In the album you can see what happened. I will be glad to your comments!

    This is beautiful. I do not understand one thing about this picture: did you take it only with the IR filter or you used four filters: red, green, yellow and IR ones?

    Sorry, my wifi is not working well. Another question: did you develop the film as if it were a B&W one or color?

    @manu2021 thank you!

    I took 4 photos with 4 filters: red, green, blue and IR. I just didn't upload similar pictures here. I developed it as b&w in D-76, then scan and overlap channels in photoshop

    @aciano Really interesting! Nowadays, I'm also investigating on IR photography and didn't know that you can get an IR with any kind of b&w film 😔. I thought you could only take them with IR rolls.

    @manu2021 it must be IR-sensitive b&w film: such as Agfa Aviphot/Rollei Infrared or Ilford SFX. Most of other b&w films are not sensitive above 700nm so you will get blank shots.

    @manu2021 I also tried to shoot with 720nm filter with russian aerographic film Tasma Type42L which is sensitive up to 730nm, but the results was not so good: www.lomography.com/homes/aciano/albums/2405719-tasma-type-4…

    @manu2021 it worked just like deep red filter and there was no infrared spectrum: www.lomography.com/homes/aciano/albums/2405719-tasma-type-4…

    @aciano Have just checked and wouldn't say it's IR
