New york, photographed from the Manhattan or Williamsburg Bridge (I always forgets which one is where though I know what each looks like) with Kodak HIE Infrared Film. Then "painted" with Photoshop and NIK Suite. Bits and pieces are from several photographs.
Camera: Leica m3. The only backstory to this is that the bridge had a lot of chicken wire on it and the small rangefinder lens (sns shade) just fit into the gaps in the chicken wire. With an SLR lens you'd be pressing the lens against the wire, and probably be okay – but those very small rangefinder lenses came in handy.
So of course Kodak HIE film is now gone. And it seems to me that all those IR negs become more valuable – not because they are rarer but simply because the media doesn't exist anymore. And HIE film had a very special look (not like this of course) but it was one of the few films that didn't have an anti-halation layer. What that meant was that it was a very thin film, and that sometimes, after light went through the film, it would bounce back if there was some "hot point" and cause a slightly halo around a few grains of silver which gave the film it's own look. That's something that you don't get with modified DSLR cameras – though there are enough post processing tools to recreate that slight glow.

#infraredpaintingdlb What I first saw was the name, "Graves." Later when I looked at it, I saw what appeared to be a face in the door, but it's just made up of rust or something on the handles that appears brighter because of the infrared effect. Not visible to naked eye. Graves – Sleepy Hollow Cemetery / Infrared / www.BeckermanPhoto.com Google+: Reshared 3 times Google+: View post on Google+
Okay, that's not the real name. But it is near the old Yankee Stadium. Technique: the usual #infraredpaintingdlb One of those images that forced me to "mask" that bridge, girder by girder to turn it black. I swear I heard the old Rolling Stones song Paint It Black while I was working on it which gave me the idea. How many times while you are doing something so tedious do you say to yourself: now [more]
I mention that I'm not crazy about the last infrared / palindrome image that I posted but c'est la vie. Still, here's a nice link from the #infraredpaintingdlb that sure does have a bunch of good ones bunched together. One other note about hash tags like the one above for you TECH FOLKS at Google. It sure would be good if there was a management system for hashtags. Basically you could delete / combine tags. [more]
