Completely changed the colours on this lake image at the local nature reserve, I quite like the contrast of these together. Hope you enjoy it too ...

I really dig the color infrared feel here, it gives the scene a Science Fiction feel. Nice work !
Back in the day, color infrared film was tricky to expose, requiring the use of heavy filters and a wide range of guesstimate exposures, due to the fact that camera's light meter is based on the visible light spectrum.
Focus was also a problem, due to what we see through the viewfinder differs from what the IR film will receive, also the deviations of optical properties from the glass in each lens would affect focus differently. Some lenses would have a red line or arrow marked with an " R " to help aid in focusing.
The film was extremely expensive to buy and process. There were only a few labs in the U.S. who could develop it, (John Hopkins University being one ). The lab would wait until they had enough rolls of film to run an entire batch, due to the the expense of chemicals and their short life span, meaning you could wait up to three weeks to get your film back after you mailed it.
Further more, if you did not load / unload the camera or ship the roll of film in complete darkness, you were screwed in terms of light leaks.
All said and done, in 1990's money, you were looking at nearly 50 dollars a roll, where 1/6 of the images you shot MIGHT be in proper exposure and focus. If your composition was off, well you were just sh*t out of luck all the way around. lol:)
Despite all the wasted money and shattered expectations, when you got it right, the surreal results were well worth it.
Isn't digital great !
Keep playing with this, I like the results.
Speaking of which, I should scan some of my old slides for the fun of it.
Many more photographic adventures to you, cheers,
