Ok everyone...here is the striaight poop direct from my contacts
at Kodak...
If anyone out there is interested in attempting to photograpgh
paranormal activities or spirits, here is how to do it right!!
- You need to purchase 35mm Kodak HIE-135/36 film. This is B&W
Infrared film used for this and other more scientific
purposes. You can either purchase the film at a local
professional photo shop or order it direct from Kodak
at 1-800-242-2424 in Rochester, NY. The roll costs
around $10.00 each including shipping.
- Once you have the film in your hot little hand, you need to
ask your friendly photo-pro at the shop for an 87 filter to
use with it. (if he/she doesn't know what this is, have
them call the 800# above and get Kodak to tell him/her.
** the reason for the 87 filter is to eliminate all existing
light during photography and only to have the IR on the film.
(even though it may be dark in a room, there is still existing
light that will effect your exposure so use the 87 filter!!).
- ONce you have captured you entity on film, either send the film
back to Kodak or get it processed at the best quality ;ab
ooops...lab in your area. It needs to be processed under three
types...hc110, d19, or d76. The best for supernatural
purposes is d76 as this gives the most normal overall
exposure. You can also have it processed HC110 but this is
a much higher contrast index and used mainly for
special scientific projects.
I hope that this answers everyones questions regarding the
photography of paranormal stuff.
Any questions or need further info, send e-mail to
DAVIDFLUKER@delphi.com and I will respond asap.
Regards
Dave
