About	I was quite taken by the way this olive tree, in the courtyard of the ruins of Ancient Aptera in Crete, framed the archway and the view beyond to the distant mountains. The infra-red film has whitened the tree's leaves and darkened the sky to give a nice contrast.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, SFX is a black and white film with an extended range down into IR. This has the benefit of making the film easier to handle and highlights are less likely to burn out. Obviously the IR effects are less obvious than with a true IR film and the film's anti-halation layer means the images don't take on the normal IR bloom but using a strong IR filter like the Cokin one produces some nice effects that I think are more striking than normal B&W without the over-the-top effects of full IR.

I like your outdoor shots with the SFX. Please correct me if I am wrong but this is not a pure IR film, but it extends its range a little below red? Do you use any filters to achieve this? Very dramatic and much better when I tried this particular film.

Excellent, it has a really ominous look to it.

This colouring was definately a good choice for this. It has an almost eerie feeling.
