The early infrared images in this website were taken with Kodak HIE infrared film and processed using TMAX chemistry. Additional pictures were processed using Kodak’s negative B&W to slide chemistry. The film and the slide chemistry are no longer available.
Kodak HIE film was originally used for industrial purposes such as crop surveys. The green deciduous leaves, when healthy, reflect back most of the infrared light, and one can detect diseased or infested crops or forests long before the damage shows up in visible light. The lack of an anti-halation layer also makes for an interesting artistic flair for landscape and portrait photography as well. With Kodak infrared film no longer available, I switched to digital cameras converted to the infrared spectrum. With both mediums, exposure and focus are a guess. With a digital camera, we can at least look at the results in the field.
The film images were scanned and digitized using Epson scan technology and lightly toughed with Adobe Lightroom to clean up dust and adjust the images to better match the pictures originally printed from the negatives.
