Photographers Comment
Thank you for selecting my photograph! This was taken from Fort Baker, in the Marin Headlands on February 15th, 2010. I used a 4x5" large format film camera, an Ebony 45SU, with a Fujinon-W 250mm f/6.3 lens. This is taken with a special infrared sensitive film, Efke IR820C, through a Hoya R72 filter, which allows light not visible to the human eyes to expose the film. The exposure was 1 second at f/16, and even that was a little underexposed, which is why the bridge and rocks are so dark, there's just no detail there! Infrared film darkens skies and water, and causes fog and clouds to be very bright as compared to shooting normal film. I scanned the film and processed with Photoshop, but most of the processing with scanned film is removing dust and scratches, then correcting the contrast.
