Infrared film....

[Scott]

Have any of you guys played around with infrared when shooting? Just curious i know it can create some pretty wild looking pictures!

Yea, it can give some ghostly like lighting to nature shots. It's been years since I've used it, but I can remember not being thrilled by what it did for people. I think all the tone was washed out, since it only registers heat.

I know infrared. But I'm not familiar with the term following it. I might have read something about that stuff long ago, but details are fuzzy.

Fuji has just develped an "Infrared" version of their S3. It will be used by law enforcement agencies.

IR is pretty damn cool with people, but you have to be aware of what you're getting into. Most glamour shooters hate it because of the lack of sharp detail and because of the pronounced appearance of veins.
