Camera - Minolta Maxxum 7000
Film - Kodak HIE infrared rated at ISO 100
Shutter Speed - 1/3
Aperture Setting - f-22 Aperture Mode
Lens - Minolta 28-85mm zoom lens @ 40mm
#25 red filter and polarizer filter
Scanning Method - My scan from my cheap little hp officejet 5510v all-in-one copy/scanner/faxer/printer

It is hoped that you would respect my ownership of the images posted here on Shutterbug Underexposed, despite the ease with which you could copy my photos. If you would like a true photographic print of any of my images, please contact me at goodiesbaker@yahoo.com and I will be happy to provide you with one.

Oh, have I got the most wonderful news to share with all of you!! But it will have to wait for another day or two. That won’t be a problem, though, as there is so much to keep us busy at this time of year.

Hard to believe the holiday season is almost over. I’ll miss the warm glow in the house from all the lights. And the carols. I’ll miss playing the carols.

We’ve got a lot of rain and above normal temps heading our way over the next week and a half. The daffodils are up about three inches high and many of the trees and bushes have budded within the past couple of weeks, only to be put on hold by a cool evening here and there. Such a mild winter we’re having.

I still haven’t received back the “unique films” I sent out to the lab. I’m expecting it to take awhile, as I sent them two rolls of film and three enlargement orders. Maybe the week after next I’ll have a shot to post from that order. Until then, I have this infrared shot that I took back in June. This old farm has a lot of great buildings, and although there is a no trespassing sign, an old driveway allows for me to park and take a few shots with a zoom lens on the camera. I’ll be back here next spring with more infrared in the camera and again in the fall. I missed the colors there this year.

I appreciate everyone’s continued visits and comments during this busy end of the year time. Thank you.

I love the IR shots. I may be shooting them myself, soon. Right now I am high bidder on an Olympus 35 RC rangefinder camera! I just feel the need to shoot some B&W film. You know, go back to a simpler time. :-)

So, you'll need to let me know where you get your outdated film and your processing! :-)

I can't wait to hear the wonderful news! Are you having another young'n? ;-)

Beautiful IR image. The composition combined with the high contrast of the IR film is very pleasing.

Some folks in the excitement of using a special camera or a specialty film clean forget to compose a decent image. Not a problem you have, Micki! This woulda still looked presentable in a Polaroid.

There are few gifts one can give that last a lifetime, the inspiration you’ve so willingly and unselfishly shared with the world through your art and talent is one. I’ve been a fortunate benefactor, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and the very best of the new year to you and yours.
