False Colors-Real World #1


**Click to view full size**
False Colours.

To get this effect I have used a special type of film called Kodak Ekatachrome Infra-Red (EIR)

This film records the visible spectrum as well as the infrared spectrum, you can alter the effect by the use of coloured filters used in B&W photography and infrared filters, A yellow filter gives very dramatic results. This film must be handled in total darkness so you will need a changing bag or access to a dark room. If you purchase your film from Jessops I am sure they would let you borrow there changing bag and load your camera in the shop.

This film is E6 process or AR-5

You wont find EIR in your local Boots the chemist you will need to go to 7dayshop.com for the lowest priced EIR (£7.10 a roll) http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_1&products_id=8361

Jessops, Silverprint, Morco, and Calumet all Sell EIR.

The are are numerous articles on the web on this film here is one here..http://www.vividlight.com/articles/3113.htm
