I shot this on Efke IR820 infrared film without an infrared filter, primarily just to use the last couple of frames up so that I could load a different film. Although there is fogging (haven’t had a roll of Efke yet in 35mm or 120 that hasn’t succumbed to leaks) I actually kind of like the aesthetic, and it’s given me an idea for some portraits.

Kodak Plus-X 125, Yashica Electro 35 MC
One of my dad’s old cameras which he bestowed to me a couple of years ago, I’ve been meaning to take the Electro 35 MC out for a test run for ages. It’s a crazily compact fixed lens zone focus 35mm with aperture priority auto-exposure, making it a right bugger to use at the best of times. Fast film is a must, really, as you’ll have to shoot at as small an aperture as possible to maximise your chances of getting your subject in focus, especially at closer distances. Why I chose to use Plus-X I’ll perhaps never know, but I just about got away with a couple of these shots.

Our wee man Clive is growing into a mischievous teen. This was taken on the one occasion where he sat still and wasn’t sleeping.
