Spent part of the day at the Earl Burns Japanese Garden in Long Beach. IT is REALLY small, but done and kept really well. wanted to practice shooting Infrared B&W film before a trip to Joshua Tree and to Japan next month. I have never shot with it and wanted to work out any exposure kinks while still close to home. I am not 100% happy with the look, but most of that is not the film. I didn’t have a light meter and shot sunny-16. I was REALLY happy to catch the duck at the top of the waterfall and for the pictures to turn out!

I shot 1 role of 35mm of 200 ASA Rollei IR film, but the A16 Hasselblad film back I had hung after the 1st shot. I said dirty words and put in an A12 back and shot a roll of Tmax 400 B&W instead. I bracketed all my shots with the 35mm to see where the best exposure will be.

I also shot a little bit of digital with my handy iPhone for reference images and was medium happy with the results – noting really popped, but they were not terrible.
