My Fav Photos from Havana (Infrared) - April 25th-29th

[Ethernut]

These are my favorites from Havana a couple weeks ago.. thought I’d share.

Shooting Infrared Photography. The first photo is undoubtedly my favorite shot of the weekend. A storm above Havana. The second was just me standing in the street with a Cuban teenager interested in photography. He took one and I took one (just to demonstrate a different framing and to get more of the clouds). A fun photography lesson in broken Spanglish.

Cheers!

Lovely stuff, @Ethernut! Love b&w photography. Which film and equipment were you using?

I bought a Hassy 500cm last year, and have been playing with Ilfords - HP5 and XP2 mostly.

Beautiful photos. Inspires me to get back into film photography which I haven't done for 6 or 7 years.

I shoot a Fuji XT-2 mirrorless camera. For these photos, I was using an 18-135 f3.5-22 with a 67mm Hoya 720nm infrared filter. These were handheld I think at 1/30th of a second due to the extreme light reduction of the filter and I was shooting in a Fuji Film simulation mode called Acros with software Red Filter.

@ayepatz the forum compression algo’s soften the photos quite a bit, but in the originals the hardness of the clouds is simply striking..
