Photos using ILFORD SFX200 black & white film

I was intrigued by this "semi-infrared" film. Its sensitivity to infrared wavelengths is not so pronounced as Kodak IR. However, results with a normal Wratten 25 red filter (as I have used here) suggest that it does not behave entirely as a normal panchromatic film either. It gives normal-looking negatives when exposed at 200asa without a filter.

The first five images are from the island of Anglesey (Ynys Mon), North Wales. The rest are nearer home. Click on an image to see a larger version.
