Leica M6 with 35mm lens
Today someone said to me, “I thought you were a Leica photographer?”
The question came from my recent postings about working with large format, and perhaps specifically now that I am exploring a new project with an 8x10 camera.
Am I a Leica photographer, or a …
Digital Infrared, a set on Flickr.
The latest to my Digital Infrared photography from my #Olympus EP1 modified to shoot IR only.

Digital IR Lomo style, with my E-P1.
Yup, that’s right… I have taken my Olympus E-P1 and had it made into a full spectrum camera. Did this by taking it apart and removing the IR Cut and anti-aliasing filter pack from the sensor.
I took a piece of unexposed but developed E6 film, put it on the inside of my Olympus 15mm F/8.0 Bodycap lens.
I have found that the focus has been effected, so not everything is as sharp as it could be, but with the 15mm Bodycap lens, there is a setting just as you are about to close the built in shutter on the lens, where the lens retracts ever so slightly, and this is enough to make me get sharp-ish images.
The results are pretty cool. You can do this too, all you need is an Alex!
Alex is available for rental! Just be warned, conversion is not always 100% successful. My LCD was killed during my conversion. But two other conversions were totally successful.
But, I do not mind a Digital Lomography IR camera ;-)

So yesterday, I placed an order for twelve pro-packs of FujiFilm’s Pro 400H in 35mm format, that is all short dated. Like, they expire next month, kind of short dated… but I am getting them at a screaming deal. This should last me a while, but I think I need a bar fridge to put it all in, with all the film I already have in the fridge in the kitchen. My wife would love it if I got all that out of there.
And I know there is some more to be had too, so I might just buy it all. Now… just have to wait for Ilford to do the same! I could use about 40+ rolls of Pan-F 50 in 120 format! ;-)

This paper has a super low ISO rating… yup, it is ISO 3!

Something for me to do next year!
A 35mm Valentine!
The message inside reads “I <3 how things have developed.”
DocPop, the maker, shared a couple more ideas — “There’s nothing negative about you” and “You film me up with love.”
So good. You can see a mini tutorial on his blog post below, too.
p.s. Check out Doc’s Kickstarter for his upcoming street photography book American Analog.
