Hi Tony,
I really like this picture of yours. The composition is good as are the tones throughout.
It's also very topical as a fellow student in my class was asking me about this SFX film recently. Although I knew about it, I haven't used it, but I have used actual B/W IR films.
So did you use a red or the dedicated filter for this picture? Any quirks for a first time user?
Many thanks in advance.
Terry S

Hi Terry, Tony was kind enough to upload this for me. A red filter was used but I do believe there is one sold by Ilford especially for use with the film. In this case I did just what Ilford recommend on the leaflet that came with the film & got 36 negs the were all usable (not all worth printing) so I think it is a very tolerant film, not like the Kodak I/red where I thought I was lucky if I got 2 frames per roll. I also like the darkening of the sky's without them going just black.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Looking at your picture again ymgandy and hearing your comments about the sfx film, I too now feel the urge to try it, once we get some more sunny weather!
As you say with IR films, I used to heavily bracket it to get one or good shots, so also knowing that it's quite a tolerant film sounds good.
