Hey thanks Tony I appreciate it. You know what it is, I never try to shoot a video unless I fully understand and test what I'm talkin about. That way it comes natural and I don't need a script. Good looking out.
Ray, The quality of your videos is outstanding. Great audio, great video, great editing, and most important, great content. This is a perfect introduction to infrared photography. I had no idea there was such a thing as a flip up filter holder. I think "Ethereal" is the word for your photos.
Man thanks so much. Took many hours to edit. I actually had to edit this twice, first time my PC crashed. I love making these. I dedicate this episode to you 😎
Cousin OC hey thanks for stopping by, yo what are we both doing up so early lol. I wish I could take credit for the sunny 8 rule but you know something, I shot three rolls of this and about 95 percent of them were keepers which NEVER happens with regular film. one shot i forgot to lower the filter and it was overexposed but thats it. I guess i concentrated much more and gave myself days to shoot each film without rushing. Id like to try color next but itd have to be digital.
Ray - that's one of the very best technical photography tutorials I've ever watched on YT. You know your stuff and deliver the information perfectly. Thank you so much!
I'm 2 years late... but I found this video so informative. I love IR images and have gotten back into film... I appreciate the great info here, worth giving a try!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! Today I was planning to shoot my first infrared film and before doing that I came here to find some tips and I found your video. Thank you!!
Learned that the Harkonnen’s planet montage was shot in infrared and wanted to learn more about the shooting film/photo in infrared. Your tutorial is a great help, from lens to settings to adapters your video is very insightful.
I loved shooting people with Infrared I like the skin tone and black orbits . Your prints are beautiful .I always had a difficult time loading the film in darkness. Thanks
Great video! Very informative and practical. I’ve got some Ilford 200 SFX 200 and a r25 red filter that I’ll star with, and later transition to “true” infrared photography. Great tip on the “Uurig” filter holder! As always, great job…on point!
That photo of the church is absolutely gorgeous. I already had a roll of sfx200 coming in the mail and that alone was enough to sell me on using it. Thank you!!
Many thanks for this tutorial. I have Ilford 200 SFX ordered and I cleaned up my Pentax Program Plus camera. My plans are to go out to our local historical cemetery later this week and shoot some film. While I have shot infrared film, it's been years. Glad I viewed your video.
Kept simple, modest on your own abilities and expertise, urged the viewer to do his/her own research. That's how a good informative video is made... Well done!
Sir, this is the most useful video on IR film photography I came along so far. Thank you very much! I also appreciate your calm and intelligent explanations. Take my bow, and also my subscription. :D
Very nicely done video. This is expertly made. Well laid out, and lots of great information. I really enjoyed how you split the video up with some of your images. That’s a great way to showcase your work and what the film looks like.
Terrific tutorial. I shoot a lot of digital through vintage lenses. However, I have some film bodies. You just gave me a reason to shoot film. Thank you!
Hey man, thanks for this detailed tutorial! I'm on my way out to shoot my first roll of IR film (Rollei IR with a Hoya R72 filter). I've watched your video a couple of times and feel like you've saved me from a bunch of mistakes.
Hello thanks so much. You know I shot two other segments that I left out. I talked about using mirror lock up to reduce shake and another that I thought would make the video run to long. It's tricky knowing what to leave out of the edit to keep it as interesting as possible. Thanks for taking the time to check this out.
Awesome thanks so much for taking the time to comment on this. Glad it was helpful, it took me weeks to put this together. I'm curious how you came across this video?
I've been a pro for almost 40 years. I can remember playing around with Infrared film. I never had time to get creative with it. The limited time I had with it, I fell In love using the film. I have to say, this has been the most informed video I've seen about this amazing film stock. I love your images. Very well exposed for sure. Works of art. and thanks for posting all your info in your comments. I'm getting back into shooting film again. Just for the fun of it. SFX film I will be in my camera soon. Thanks Ray!
You are wonderful, with your explanatory video, but I have a lot to learn, to be able to follow you, I really like the clarity of the audio, magnificent work, I think that if I continue listening I could learn a lot. Thanks ,
I've watched a few videos on infrared film photography, especially with a medium format camera. This is the clearest explanation. The example images are fantastic too. I use a TLR so don't need the filter mount, looking forward to giving it a try.
Ray I attended a paid workshop on IR photography and came away confused with more questions than answers. This video answered them all. It’s easily the best instruction on IR photography I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much!! I’m heading out today with SFX and actually feel confident! I’m subscribing to your channel!!
Another great video, Ray. Really nice work. I've also shot with something called JCH (Japan Camera Hunter) Streetpan, which has a strong red sensitivity. It also works great with an R72 filter.
Hello how are you? Sorry I missed your comment for so long but yes I heard Japan Street was also red sensitive I'd like to try it. Thanks for checking this out.
Thank you sir. I also live in Miami. I love IR photography. I have a Sony A6000 converted to 830NM. I also love to shoot film. You inspired me to shoot iR on film. Thanks for a most enjoyable and educational video. Stay safe, Jerry.
Thank you very much: This looks like another turn in the road with my photography: So appreciate your time in sharing this. Your photos were brilliant and you didn’t look like an alien: Thank you once again
Lol thanks my man. I know what you mean by another turn because even though I shoot a lot of film and digital lately I've been getting burned out on photography and although I live near Miami I feel like I'm shot everything there is. Trying the infrared allows another dimension. I really would like to try color infrared with those kolari vision filters but of course I would need a converted camera. Thanks for checking this out and taking the time to comment 😊
I do know what you mean about being burned out: I live in country NSW Australia 🇦🇺 The drought was something else, then the bush fires, now rain 🌧: Have turned to having more clouds and different types in pics: I’d love to get to a beach and shoot: Have 57 cameras at last count plus my collection, love them all: Anyway thank you again
These pictures look amazing and really make me want to buy a filter and shoot my roll already! I've had a roll of infrared film for a few years but never got a filter. I can't wait to try it out!
Great info mate as a young lad I shot a roll of infra red didnt do any research didn’t know about filters just presumed the film was enough I did make some nice bog standard black and white shots thought 🙄 keen to try again now 📷❤️
Hello Frank that's awesome man let me know how it goes if you get a chance to try it. I don't know if I mentioned but ilford invited me to write an article for their online magazine the link is in the description. That was really cool and something I didn't expect
Ahh!!! Amazing! I have carried my Infrared films for ages and never used them because I still want to buy a red filter. Not watched the video yet but I will while the RA-4 machine is heating up! See you in the darkroom in a minute Aloy! Greetings from the Alps
I just came across your Utube channel and I stopped to watch it. Your a well spoken person and you make a good teacher... you got me...I'm in. Good job...cheers.
Hi Ray, very nice review. And beuatiful pictures. I shooting myself also ilford sfx200 and digital with a Canon 1000d full spectrum. It works great and the pictures are great. Well done.
Hey thanks for checking this out my man. I want to try a full spectrum conversion also, much better to experiment with. feel free to check out my ilford magazine article on Infrared also, link in description.
Thanks, a very helpful overview with some nice tips. Just got my red25 filter today, I thinks that's 720nm. Looking forward to trying the SFX200 film out on my Bronica GS-1 (6x7). Beautiful images!
Hello Matt thank you, hey are we in the same FB photography group? Also I challenge you to a friendly competition in comparison to the results I was able to get. No pressure lol
I just shot a two rolls SFX using all of your advice, and it worked great! I've been meaning to for awhile now, but it all seemed too confusing, until this tutorial. So thanks! It's cool stuff.
@@Raychristofer I've posted three up on my Instagram ( @tim_roper). One thing I really like: you don't have to get out there super early for some good landscape shots!
720 nanometer filter? Yep, I’m an Astro guy so you’re totally speaking my language. I guess this is what you need for near infrared. The film then only sees what you want it to see.👍
This is one of the best video explainers I have ever seen about photography. Thank you so much for the clarity in concepts and practical advice. You are a great teacher! Two questions for you: 1) Do you have a patreon account or something similar? 2) Do you sell your prints? Wish today's bloggers/influencers/gurus/or whatever they call themselves were more like this. The world would be better.
Hello thanks so much that warms my heart. Yes I try to be personal and be myself at all times. I don't have a patreon but I started a small online print shop, I haven't uploaded a ton of photos yet but you're welcome to check it out. Thanks for your support and here's a link to the shop. aloyandersonphotography.picfair.com/
I have shot a lot of digital infrared but I have never shot film infrared. I now want to try film infrared. I have decided to use my Leica M6 rangefinder with 35mm lens and a 52mm Hoya R72 infrared filter with a 49-52mm step-up ring. Rangefinder focusing should be easier than through-the-lens SLR focusing.
Hey Ray this was great, fabulous, par excellence my friend. I have thinking about and not seen you on youtube, so this was a very pleasant surprise. I still have not tried Lomo film again (can only buy it online0. I did shoot Rollei Crossbird last week (waiting for it to come back). I have considered infare and you video helped me in that regard. Post some mpore film videos please.
Hello thanks so much md, actually what the Young folks are doing today is using digital cameras converted to infrared which I may try. Shot three film reviews the same time as this ir video , lomo purple and an updated lomo metropolis. I just have to find time to edit them. Glad this was helpful. Never heard of that rollei crossbird till I just googled it. Super interesting!
Very informative and detailed video. Great images too. The church image is one of my favourites. Good decision shooting on 645 - giving you lots of frames to bracket with as well as a pretty big negative size. I have a Yashica TLR but unfortunately, Ive just discovered an issue with some of the slow shutter speeds. So I think I'll shoot IR on 35mm instead. The only IR film that I have shot in the past was a colour IR slide film which has long been discontinued. I shot two 35mm rolls of that with diffferent coloured filters - yellow and orange for each film. And I adjusted the focus to the red mark on my Canon FD lenses. Now, I want to shoot some Rollei IR 400. I'm going to order an R72 filter at some point. It's winter here in Australia right now so it will be nice to see that green grass turn pale.
Awesome glad it was helpful. Milford magazine was cool enough to feature me in their online magazine feel free to check it out. I think the link is in the description
@@Raychristofer In fact, I am using a modified digital camera and I was expecting to reach the quality of monochrome films Thanks for the invitation and I will subscribe to the magazine
Really good pics you're taken here..thanks for sharing with us! The reason why the plants and the grass is shining so bright is chlorophil, which is emitting from them itself, with its own wavelenght. IR-photography is special..but delivers stunning results.
@@Raychristofer hey man, I was wondering, if you use a red filter with this film and shoot a cut up pomegranate, would the inside texture look jet black as it's red colour? Planning on a series and some of your experience would be much appreciated, thank you!
@@lochvonsavoy2936 hello thank you and yes many people use a deep red filter instead of the infrared and it works great too but since I didn't compare them back to back I can't tell how much difference it would be but I do know the deep red filter will give you shorter exposure times. That pomegranate sounds like a perfect subject for that test. Let me know how it goes
Trying to get into infrared b&w film photography and so far this has been the best tutorial I've seen. Formal and shares personal experiences, well done and thank you.
This just became my go-to for infrared! Perfect balance of in depth tech and inspiring work, love it! I was thinking about how hot things would look under infrared, would it be possible to get a glowy pic of a motorcycle engine if it was photographed at night? That would be surreal, wonder if you would even need a filter if it was dark outside already 🤔... Think I might have to try that!
hello thank you, and I'm actually going to flip it around on you because I'm glad I found your channel, vintage cameras is where it's at. You've got a new subscriber
@@AlysVintageCameraAlley that's something I deal with also.there's times I've spent over a week putting together a video and hours editing it only to see 150 views. And other videos I just threw together without much care that blow up. I've learned it's best to just make videos out of love. and sometimes I'll take a month off of CZcams when I don't feel like it. The good thing is I'm starting to make money every month from the channel even though I don't have a ton of subscribers so that is an encouragement also. If you look at marques brownlee's first videos you won't feel bad at all lol.
@@AlysVintageCameraAlley Hello no it's minimum 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours in the last 12 months. Believe me it took years for me to make 1000 subs but the 4000 hours isn't terrible. The key is you can put Amazon affiliate links in the video to make money which is separate from CZcams rules and more than half my affiliate income is from Amazon . So don't let CZcams AdSense dollars hold you back it fluctuates anyway.
Did i comment on this before if not i should have done, i found that they make this film in 5X4 and its actually cheaper than normal 5x4 film so you've inspired me to go on an adventure, armed with large format infrared film.
Hey my man thanks. I can't believe I have you commenting on my videos I must have hit the big time lol. I'm curious how you came across this video was it the illford article or did CZcams suggest it
Very helpful Ray, thank you, I have some Rollei 35mm infrared film New and two expired Macophot an IR 820c and a IR820c Aura B&W also by Rollei about 12 years old in 120 format, probably 400ASA by now, and a filter. I have never tried infrared before, so fingers crossed as to the results. My choice of cameras are old, for 35mm an Ihagee Exakta VX1000 and for 120 an AGI Agilux Agifold camera, so I am not making it easy for myself, but you have given me some starters, cheers :-)
Awesome my brother Ian in so glad this helped. The camera doesn't matter but I recommend using a wider lens like a 28 or 35. Hey Ilford actually featured me in their online magazine and invited me to write an Article. The link should be in the description. Let me know how it goes.
Said it before and I'll say it again: a real professional presenting and explaining a subject perfectly.
Hey thanks Tony I appreciate it. You know what it is, I never try to shoot a video unless I fully understand and test what I'm talkin about. That way it comes natural and I don't need a script. Good looking out.
Ray,
The quality of your videos is outstanding. Great audio, great video, great editing, and most important, great content. This is a perfect introduction to infrared photography. I had no idea there was such a thing as a flip up filter holder.
I think "Ethereal" is the word for your photos.
Man thanks so much. Took many hours to edit. I actually had to edit this twice, first time my PC crashed. I love making these. I dedicate this episode to you 😎
Forget the Sunny 16 rule - You just invented the Sunny 8 rule! Great tutorial and that image at 3:45 is something else
Cousin OC hey thanks for stopping by, yo what are we both doing up so early lol.

Shot three film reviews the same time as this ir video , lomo purple and an updated lomo metropolis. I just have to find time to edit them. Glad this was helpful. Never heard of that rollei crossbird till I just googled it. Super interesting!
Very informative and detailed video. Great images too. The church image is one of my favourites. Good decision shooting on 645 - giving you lots of frames to bracket with as well as a pretty big negative size. I have a Yashica TLR but unfortunately, Ive just discovered an issue with some of the slow shutter speeds. So I think I'll shoot IR on 35mm instead. The only IR film that I have shot in the past was a colour IR slide film which has long been discontinued. I shot two 35mm rolls of that with diffferent coloured filters - yellow and orange for each film. And I adjusted the focus to the red mark on my Canon FD lenses. Now, I want to shoot some Rollei IR 400. I'm going to order an R72 filter at some point. It's winter here in Australia right now so it will be nice to see that green grass turn pale.
Excellent presentation.
I learned a lot from you in this section. Thank you
Awesome glad it was helpful. Milford magazine was cool enough to feature me in their online magazine feel free to check it out. I think the link is in the description
@@Raychristofer In fact, I am using a modified digital camera and I was expecting to reach the quality of monochrome films Thanks for the invitation and I will subscribe to the magazine
Thankyou - great info presented well :)
Hey James, good looking out bro
Great video. Thanks a million.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really good pics you're taken here..thanks for sharing with us! The reason why the plants and the grass is shining so bright is chlorophil, which is emitting from them itself, with its own wavelenght. IR-photography is special..but delivers stunning results.
Hey thanks, and yes one thing I notice is some plants reflect more than others. Some palm trees reflect very little but certain bushes are super white
Great work and information, as always!
Hello thank you, can't wait to shoot more infrared
@@Raychristofer hey man, I was wondering, if you use a red filter with this film and shoot a cut up pomegranate, would the inside texture look jet black as it's red colour? Planning on a series and some of your experience would be much appreciated, thank you!
@@lochvonsavoy2936 hello thank you and yes many people use a deep red filter instead of the infrared and it works great too but since I didn't compare them back to back I can't tell how much difference it would be but I do know the deep red filter will give you shorter exposure times. That pomegranate sounds like a perfect subject for that test. Let me know how it goes
Trying to get into infrared b&w film photography and so far this has been the best tutorial I've seen. Formal and shares personal experiences, well done and thank you.
Hello thanks so much.
This just became my go-to for infrared! Perfect balance of in depth tech and inspiring work, love it! I was thinking about how hot things would look under infrared, would it be possible to get a glowy pic of a motorcycle engine if it was photographed at night? That would be surreal, wonder if you would even need a filter if it was dark outside already 🤔... Think I might have to try that!
Great video. I’m so glad I found you. Your film reviews are great
hello thank you, and I'm actually going to flip it around on you because I'm glad I found your channel, vintage cameras is where it's at. You've got a new subscriber
Awesome thank you. I hope you enjoy them. I have actually been a little down because I didn’t think many people were watching them
@@AlysVintageCameraAlley that's something I deal with also.there's times I've spent over a week putting together a video and hours editing it only to see 150 views. And other videos I just threw together without much care that blow up. I've learned it's best to just make videos out of love. and sometimes I'll take a month off of CZcams when I don't feel like it. The good thing is I'm starting to make money every month from the channel even though I don't have a ton of subscribers so that is an encouragement also. If you look at marques brownlee's first videos you won't feel bad at all lol.
Raychristofer oh really? I thought you couldn’t start monetizing until 10k subs? That’s good to know.
@@AlysVintageCameraAlley Hello no it's minimum 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours in the last 12 months. Believe me it took years for me to make 1000 subs but the 4000 hours isn't terrible. The key is you can put Amazon affiliate links in the video to make money which is separate from CZcams rules and more than half my affiliate income is from Amazon . So don't let CZcams AdSense dollars hold you back it fluctuates anyway.
Wonderful video!!!
Good video. Very helpful.
Did i comment on this before if not i should have done, i found that they make this film in 5X4 and its actually cheaper than normal 5x4 film so you've inspired me to go on an adventure, armed with large format infrared film.
Hey my man thanks. I can't believe I have you commenting on my videos I must have hit the big time lol. I'm curious how you came across this video was it the illford article or did CZcams suggest it
Very helpful Ray, thank you, I have some Rollei 35mm infrared film New and two expired Macophot an IR 820c and a IR820c Aura B&W also by Rollei about 12 years old in 120 format, probably 400ASA by now, and a filter.
I have never tried infrared before, so fingers crossed as to the results. My choice of cameras are old, for 35mm an Ihagee Exakta VX1000 and for 120 an AGI Agilux Agifold camera, so I am not making it easy for myself, but you have given me some starters, cheers :-)
Awesome my brother Ian in so glad this helped. The camera doesn't matter but I recommend using a wider lens like a 28 or 35. Hey Ilford actually featured me in their online magazine and invited me to write an Article. The link should be in the description. Let me know how it goes.
