Samy,
Good work on your Airesflex w-Provia. I used Provia 100 RDP, TechPan and Velvia in my Zeiss Ikoflex TLR. Another camera I regert selling. Are labs still doing E-6 processing?

Not sure I even want a color IR profile anymore. After that batch with the 200mm f4 ais micro + TC - I moved the lens over to the Infrared 5DmkII. Wind was shaking all the plants in both batches, but the smoothness of the gradients in this refurb 14-15 year old camera is wonderful.

Methinks that is very close, may be buffed out rust with some clear coat on it, very popular now to restore to 'original unrestored'.

Jim, if I were getting results like these ones of yours I might very well consider going all monochrome too! But as it is, I'm going to continue to work both sides of the IR street at least until I more fully develop my skill and familiarity with the gear combinations, and maybe even change the gear itself as you have done (after all, I do have a D7200 that's languishing for lack of use).
So, here is my final little group of IR images from Forbidden Plateau on May 27. They were all shot with my 590nM IR-converted Fuji X-T2, with help from the 24 f/2.8 NC (first and third photos) and the 50 f/1.4 SC (second photo).

I find it unnerving that the "wildlife" would let me get so close with a 135mm. Too much time around two-legged creatures I think. I did not close the distance, the deer did. I took my shot then backed away. 50-135.
Just last night, we were sitting in the living room and 3 deer walked nonchalantly down the fence line 40 feet away. When we first built this place 26 years ago, we hardly ever saw deer. In the past 5 years or so, we have watched herds of them on all sides of us and occasionally getting into our garden. We even had to resort to putting up electric fence around it. I'm glad we don't have to raise vegetables on a large scale anymore!
The Hub, the Gothic structure (ca 1845) is a public arts and exhibition building. There are quite a few restored canons around the castle. Since 1861 a canon has been fired daily at 1:00PM, except Sunday.
Cemetery for the four legged companions of high ranking soldiers. Right of the sign, there is a marker that resembles a dog house. Princes Street and Garden in the background.
The Great Hall. the sole decent photo I have as it was too crowded. It seems folks were running for cover from the high winds.
Hi Jim, there's many labs that do E-6, I send mine to thedarkroom in California. I have done E-6 dev with a kit, but I have a <50% success rate with both E-6 and C-41, so lately I have been sticking to b&w only in my home non-dark 'lab'.

Glen the colour IRs are always interesting, makes one think they are other-worldly.
Thanks Serge, have to keep the USS Intrepid in mind some day I get a chance to go up there. serge07 wrote:
Samy, it is located towards the end of a pathway that runs the length of the USS Intrepid, Pier 86. Nice views of the Hudson from there.
Samy, I built a working film processor out of two broken Wing/Lynch E6/C41 film processors. Though the chemistry claimed it was neutralized by each successive chemical in the E6 and C41 process - there were articles claiming it wasn't as true as the manufacturers would have you believe. However, it was the Blix (combo of bleach and fix) for transparencies that convinced me to stop. It is one of the most corrosive substances I have ever encountered, and is literally the reason both machines were intially broken. I decommissioned everything following OSHA recommendations. Years ago they were talking about banning these chemicals - so I am bit surprised they continue to be used.

Jim, that maybe a good reason not to do E6 and C41 at home. And those chemicals definitely are noxious. Prob should have been wearing a respirator. I know Kodachrome went completely away because it was really bad.

Not sure we've had the venerable F2 on here before. Nice captures Huss.
Thank you Leighton! I'm sure I must have posted something in the past.. Anyway, this was one those things where you uncover an item you hadn't used in a looooong while - the waist level finder - so you give it another shot.
