Phrank, yeah....but that's basically how high speed IR works if I would have taken that picture. Blue skies become almost black, and leaves and other light areas become sort of white, soft, almost ghost like. Just incase anyone's interested, Kodak high speed IR is 25 ISO and is very, very sensitive and very thin film. You can easily blow a whole roll or tear it apart by rewinding too quickly. You also need the heaviest red filter you can get. So your exposures will be incredibly long. And the worst thing is that it's pretty expensive - over here in Holland I pay around $18 a roll =( Just have a look at the links to see what I mean....it can be really beautiful. ![penrhyn2.5.jpg](http://www.gorillasites.com/infrared/Gallery_Penrhyn/images/penrhyn2.5.jpg)
