Thanks for letting me know about this. <br /><br />I've not yet tried the aura but I have a couple rolls in the fridge. From what I understand the aura lacks the anti-halation backing the other IR films have and causes more of a glowing effect. Sounds really cool. Actually, the efke aura is the same price whether you go 120 or 35mm so I'm thinking that I'll likely run 35mm through the holga next time and see what's what!remediate thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252993271242857347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671052146175667111.post-81930889446612072302010-08-23T08:46:23.139-04:002010-08-23T08:46:23.139-04:00My wife is like you: she likes the shots with the ...My wife is like you: she likes the shots with the numbers on them. (Though I think she is just trying to be nice.)<br /><br />I was using Efke AURA IR820 120 Black and White Infrared Film. I see you were using the non-aura version. I'm not really sure what the difference is between the two and haven't found anything online. Why do you prefer the non-aura?<br /><br />And speaking of IR, take a look at <a href="http://kentweakley.com/KWpages/KWgallery102106/index.htm" rel="nofollow">these amazing panoramic shots by Kent Weakley</a>.Bill Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18309296253301738862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671052146175667111.post-12487638630683057432010-08-19T06:16:06.878-04:002010-08-19T06:16:06.878-04:00Wowsa, Bill.

I've only gotten the numbers once but that was with a roll that I had to keep moving from one camera to another--a roll that suffered a lot of spooling and respooling. The kicker is that I loved the look on those shots and have always wanted to learn how to achieve this intentionally! <br /><br />I have to say, I thought about you while I was shooting the Holga infrared. Based on what you said about your experiences, I really worried that the 4 sec exposures were way too long. In some instances, I think I might have doubled that. What film were you using? <br /><br />And, finally, wow: I would never have thought to bring IR through the scanner.

Looking over my notes from my Holga IR shots, I see that the better ones were between .5 & 2 seconds in bright sunlight. <br /><br />You also didn't get the unbelievable imprint of the film number on the image. I still have trouble believing this is from the film counter window, but who knows. Some of the shots might have turned out pretty well if the numbers weren't in the background. Maybe it's because they sat for a while before development, or the light leak, or, even, because they went through airport security (despite what I read about security having no impact on IR film). <br /><br />See these screen shots taken from my scanner enlarger frame: <a href="http://billwolffphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Picture-132.png" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, <a href="http://billwolffphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Picture-133.png" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, and <a href="http://billwolffphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Picture-134.png" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. <br /><br />Weird, right?Bill Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18309296253301738862noreply@blogger.com
