Prelim Discussion of IR-Sensitive B&W Films Part II: Washi-Z ISO 400
Washi-Z 400, above with a dark red filter. I start with that statement because for some reason I didn’t shoot the first few images with dark red. Instead I had used an orange filter for some reason:
Washi-Films were never intended for use in still cameras. They were specialty films and most were developed for recording some type of motion, including a sound version.But nowadays these specialty films are creeping into the revitalized 35 mm film market.
And finally, two images from the Tonto Natural Bridge in Arizona. Representing some of the early orange filter exposures.
So now what? I’ve ordered more Washi-Z 400, and because the IR effect did not seem that strong, even with the red filter. I’m going to try it with the IR-695 filter. Watch for new results coming soon……
Retrospective: Mission Santa Ines
And of course a Door because it is Thursday……The side entry photographed better than the Main Entrance. You may have noticed that this is Infrared.
Mission Santa Ines is located next to Solvang, California. It was founded in 1804. I was visiting a friend in Santa Barbara back in 2017 when I made this visit. I decided to use my Nikon-1, which was converted to full spectrum by KolariVision. I then used an IR filter to limit the exposure to Infrared.
Church was in session, so I wandered around outside and focussed my photography there. Obviously a full house with people standing in the doorway.
Views around the Courtyard, Above Left to Right: St Francis, Shrine to Santa Ines, Jesus.
Finally, below, the Cemetery:
I had the Nikon-1 converted after much frustration with IR-films. I do use IR-Sensitive Films and you’ll see some film tests coming soon.
Retrospectives are repostings of significant works from my old Photo Diary……….
And, some thought from yesterday’s Photo Diary on Windows and Walls……
A Thursday Door from Alcatraz
I have an earlier posting of this Door. See my complete posting of this Door here. Bringing it back now that I’ve joined the Thursday Doors Group……..And inspired by a post from Marla on the Move.
But I’ll give you an alternate view here:

A Thursday Door from Long Beach
I’m more of a Window person, but this unusual elevator door in Long Beach caught my attention:

Inspired By: Bruce Hucko
Cisco Ghost Town, Near Moab, UT:
Bruce Hucko was the Founder of the Moab Photography Symposium, which ran for 15 years and had its last meeting in 2018. The results was a wrap up Book containing images from Participants:
The Featured Image above is one of my book prints. The others are here below:
But more importantly, Bruce worked on local Preservation and Conservation Issues, contributing Photographs and field experiences that were instrumental in the protection of the Bears Ears National Monument, Utah. This region and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Park are now under threat from Fracking and Mining interests. This prompted a recent Visit to the Grand Staircase and Capitol Reef Parks this past Fall. We wanted to see them before they were gone……..We start with some scenes from Ruins of the Ancient Ones in New Mexico and Arizona.

Secret Santa Superzoom: I’d like to Continue the Project
My Gift had a story described in the Letter. Important details below:
So now where are we? The camera actually has a story the results of which can be viewed here:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/thetravellingsuperzoom/
Here is a summary from my introductory letter pictured below:
“….This camera has a bit of a history in that it’s spent the last few month travelling the length and breadth of of the United Kingdom (and even got to the south of France on one leg of it’s journey) as a part of a project on an online photography forum. The camera was loaded with a roll of film, the first person shot five frames, and then the camera was sent on to the next person. The process repeated (with a half-way set of photos when a second roll of film was loaded) until it eventually got back to me……….”
So I would like to sign up maybe 6+ people to help this Camera travel across North America….We’ll follow a similar format. I’ll load a roll of film, shoot 5 pictures, and mailed to the next person on the list. We can start a second roll if necessary. To protect everyone’s privacy, you return the camera to me and I send it to the next person. In the end I will post the images on a WordPress Project Page. So what do you think?
Inspired By: Clyde Butcher
For classic B&W landscapes we often think of Ansel Adams. And for more intimate landscapes, John Sexton. But those are mostly Western Landscapes. The East has beautiful scenes that tend to go unloved. Even Clyde Butcher ventured west for a change-up in is photo scenes. I was supposed to go to the Everglades last Fall, and had hoped to post images from Florida for this Inspiration. But my illness intervened. We are still planning our visit with Clyde and stay in one of his cabins. My photographer’s eye is looking forward to the South Florida Environs. Check him out here.
Well, I live where I live, so my inspiration from Clyde Butcher as acknowledged here, comes from his dramatic, sweeping landscapes and how clouds are an important feature of the landscape. Also, the importance of masterful photography in Conservation and Historical Preservation efforts.
So my Inspiration from the Cathedral Trail Loop in Capitol Reef National Park. Also environmentally significant because of the threat to open this Park to fracking and mining operations:
Also a test of the Rollei Retro 80S IR sensitive film……….using a 695 filter.
