Critique Welcomed Infra Reds...

[Shaun Haselden]

Three images taken around 1997 whilst using Konica Infra Red film developed for six minutes in ID-11. They were shot using a Bronica ETRS fitted with a 40mm lens and an R72 filter on a tripod. These are some of my fondest images.​

Beautiful images, Shaun. Film IR does make a difference.

Thank you for your comment Nihat, I especially love film and the effect it gives in monochrome over digital. I do hope to do a lot more Infra Red at some point but it is so expensive and I do not know whether my current camera has an IR frame counter.

IR frame counter is new terminology to me, Shaun.

Shaun very nice images, one of the nicest hay bale one I have seen. A good set.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your comments.

For some reason the middle one, the hay rolls, makes me think of Russia. It conjures some kind of agrarian scene in a pre-WWII Russian film for some reason. But it's bonnie fotie, as are the others. I especially like that brilliant white cloud in the 3rd fotie.

The hay bale photograph was taken in Lincolnshire at a place called Tupholme Abbey close to Bardney. I spend most of my time photographing derelict airfields with miles of concrete and black skies so this was quite different for me at that time especially as Bardney is the home of just such an airfield. I find that these days with Photoshop, I can easily enhance the skies to get the effect I want which was something I could never do satisfactorily in a darkroom so my photography is better now than it ever has been with just chemicals alone.

I guess that is what makes photography 'art'; expressing your own interpretation on the image. Thank you for all of your comments.
