334X Hooded Detective, G.T. Fleming-Roberts, Allen Anderson 4447 Toda Tuya, Catherine. Sep 28, 2007. Canon recently released the 40D, which is essentially the 30D with Canon's latest technology. According to the experts at Fotocare, the 40D generates one stop less noise than the 30D, so that a photo shot at ISO 3200 with the 40D will look like a photo shot at ISO 1600 with the 30D in terms of graininess.

Kolari 720nm FIlter Recently Kolari Vision has come out with a new series of infrared filters with their AR (anti reflection) that stop or greatly reduce hot spots in the center of your film or digital sensor. These hot spots are due to the various coatings, paint and other reflective coatings on the glass elements and coatings on inside of your lenses causing the light to bounce back and forth several times then hit the film dead center causing the hot spot.

The main filter on the market has been the Hoya R72 filter which works but gives a low contrast washed out image. Along come the new Kolari filter and now I am getting more contrast and even images with greatly reduced hot spots. So lets take a look at the image above. This is the about 20 min west of Beaufort, SC and was taken with the Rollei IR400 film rated at 720nm.

What Are The Main Features Of Serialism Music. Without a IR filter the ISO is 400 and the emulsion generates a very good likeness of Kodak TriX 400 film. If you add the 720nm filter the ISO drops down to 12 or 6 but you get the amazing whites on the grass and leaves. You even get the Wood Effect where the green items BLOOM out with an etherial soft white energy on the image!

Few things beat a beautiful sunrise photographed in color when you want to create a dramatic image. The same scene photographed in infrared may be disappointing unless there’s some IR reflective subject matter (we’re talking about deciduous trees here) to add interest. That’s because of the “Wood Effect,” which is the bright, white reproduction of the chlorophyll layer of deciduous plants.

The effect is named after infrared photography pioneer Robert W. Wood (1868-1955) and not after the material wood which does not strongly reflect infrared. Normally the Wood Effect is difficult to achieve at 720nm and is better seen at 800nm and and above. I have been very happy with this new filter from Kolari in combination with the Rollei IR400 film because I am constantly getting the effect plus deep contrasty images.

It simply works as expected which is way more than I can say for others on the market! Technical Data: • Fuji GF 670 Medium Format (120) folding Rangefinder with a Voigtlander 85mm Color Scopar lens.

• Kolari 720nm AR filter • ISO at 12 and 6, both are close to perfect because they are only 1 stop apart. • Aperture: f/32 • Tripod mounted Development: • Ilford Perceptol Stock mixture 1:0, 20c, 14 min with 5 seconds of agitation every min. • Water Rinse • Stop Bath • Ilford Quick Fix for 5 min with 5 seconds of agitation every min. • Water Rinse • Clearing Wash • Water rinse for 10 min • Distilled Water rinse with 3 drops of wetting solution • Dried overnight in filtered Mistral Drying Cabinet. • Wet mount scanned on a Epson 850 pro at 6400dpi. If you are considering working in 720nm whether in film or digital I highly recommend this new filter from Kolari!

This is (again) Stormy Seas in Georgetown, SC This is (again) Stormy Seas in Georgetown, SC (perhaps the most photographed boat in the Low Country). I have hundreds of images of it but I am pulled to photograph her in B&W film each and ever y time I am in Georgetown.

There is something about her lines and textures that inspire me to document her life, and I have for years. Yes I will visit ANY shrimp boat (or grist mill for that matter) and each and every time I visit I see something different and unique Yep addicted! DATA: The image was taken about 5 days ago on a 6×9 Fuji GW 690 II using medium format Fuji Acros 100 film and a red filter, developed in Perceptol 1:1 and Wet Mount scanned on a Epson 850 pro. The 6×9 format will give me 8 images per roll and I will usually scan 2 or 3 per roll, but I am very critical and selective because the wet scan process takes about 3/4 hour per scan! The top image is near Stormy Seas in Georgetown, about 2 blocks away at another commercial dock and seafood house. I have shot this a hundred times on both digital and film, but never have I captured such a pleasing image as this. It is to me a more enriching image full of mood, contrasts and tells a story.
