General 5 — LiuYiheng

So … I shot my first (and probably the last) roll of the discontinued color infrared film, Kodak Aerochrome.

Aerochrome is an infrared-sensitive film originally designed for aerial vegetation surveys, which renders landscapes in surreal colors—particularly turning greens into vibrant reds—by capturing infrared light that is invisible to the human eye.

Chances are, you know that it's an E6 processed slide film that's supposed to create a roll of positive images.

I took a different approach by choosing to cross-process the roll with C41 chemicals to get a better latitude to work with while scanning, converting, and editing the film after reading the very detailed guide written by @robwalwyn

While shooting I kept metering for the vegetation with exposure compensation at +1.

The images above show seperatly: the final edited image, the negative and the original scan converted using Negative Lab Pro.

I used an 85B filter, which is warmer than the recommended yellow or orange filter. It was probably the reason why the vegetation turned out super purple. The images shows the before & after of the color correcting process.
