Spring is my favorite time to shoot black and white infrared film. The fresh green leaves and fluffy white clouds are beautifully rendered with this film. On May 5, I decided to take out the Lubitel for a spin. When I went to load the film, I noted that I had last used 35mm film in the camera, so I dutifully removed all of the 35mm adapters, except for the frame mask. When these negatives came out of the developing tank, my first thought was "what is up with the camera?" I soon apologized to my Lubitel and shouldered the blame myself. Fresh Rollei Infrared home processed in Blazinal 1+25 for 10 minutes 30 seconds.
