IR film & Diafine
Money that I was given for Christmas was hastily put towards a box of Rollei IR 400 film and a Heliopan 715IR filter so I could try out infra-red photography for the first time. Last weekend I managed to find the time and a good location to try the stuff out; I was down in Dorset visiting my mother-in-law, so I took the opportunity to re-visit Durdle Door.
I souped the film in DIafine, which was the first time I have used this developer. I was amazed at how easy things were with this stuff, just 3 mins for each solution at pretty much whatever temperature with minimal agitation and the negatives came out really well.

You have have to love Diafine for it's simplicity yet it can achieve very good results with lots of different films.
