Trying Infrared photography

Share your feedback

I am trying out 35mm Infrared photography but I am not sure if I am happy with the results. I was able to get some of the same (or better) image results with my X-T5 and CampSnap Pro camera. If you have suggestions for feedback to get better IR results, please share them.

Used Rollei Infrared film and some Ilford SFX 200, along with R72 filter. Shooting with the Nikon F2.

Let me start with the images I liked the most, followed by examples that didn’t get the look I wanted.

I like the dark background but the trees don’t have the right silver look.

I really like the trees and sky with this but some of the goats are blown out and the grass seems off to me.
