Description

"Tobacco Dreams"

I pulled my old medium format camera out of storage (a Bronica ETRS that I used for senior pic's, group photography etc back in the 80's) and loaded it with some recently-acquired B&W infrared film (Rollei IR400). I went out and shot it yesterday (bright sunlight is necessary), using a very dark red Hoya 720nm IR filter on lens, and developed the negatives immediately to see if it "worked". It did! I digitally scanned the neg's using my Pentax and a light-table. This resulting image is of a tobacco shed (note the freshly cut tobacco hanging inside) that I shoot rather often, since it is just a few miles from Stoughton. I love the grainy, analogue feel that only film can really deliver (you may have to zoom in to see that grain). Or maybe it is just nostalgia for the "old days" of shooting film. I don't know, but I'm having fun regardless...
I hand-tinted the barn on this version. Version one (search for same title) is pure B&W
