Kodak HIE (infrared):
1/14/2006
Everything was taken with the Rollei f/2.8 40mm Sonnar with a B+W dark
red filter. I rated the film at ISO 200. With the red filter, it works out
to be about ISO 25.
1. Frosty weeds – What frost? Well, it was there when I took the
photos. I guess that frost doesn't render too well with infrared film. I was
thinking when I shot this that a nice color film would have worked better.
2. Parking lot trees – If I recall, I stopped down to about f/8.
3. Liberty Avenue – The guy on the right seemed very concerned
that I was taking photos. Maybe he thought I was photographing him.
4. Bike near PPG Plaza – The Sonnar is a very nice lens. I
continue to be impressed with it.
5. Statues – Part of an outdoor exhibit.
6. Gateway Center sidewalk – I sort of like the interrupted
reflections.
7. Market Square – I had a long rant about how this tiny area
represents the worst of Pittsburgh. How it turns into a hellhole of urban
decay after 4 p.m. But I'll just drop it. NRM was National Record Mart, a
local record store chain. It went under.
8. St. Mary's Church, Stanwix Street – I was very pleased with the interplay of light on
the building.
