  A friend of mine showed me some of the photos he took using infrared film. From what I recall, he took some brilliant shots of clouds in the sky and other high-light situations. They looked beautiful, to put it simply, and were really well-done.
  
  I don't recall him mentioning anything about him having trouble with developing them, but maybe because I didn't ask.

    Caitlin, if you do use infrared, make sure you put it into your camera in --total-- darkness, either in a room where you process your film or in one of the boxes where you can put your hands into it. Also make sure to have a red filter on your lens--or the pictures won't come out properly. Remember to shoot on a sunny day. Infrared looks really flat if you shoot in really low lighting or on a gray day.

      That is good advice. Has to go into and come out of the camera in total darkness. I have shot infrared and the first time i did get some light leakage. Not quite sure how. It is also sensitive to temperature so don't leave it in your car. A red filter is a must. It's not too hard to develop it yourself as long a the exposures are good. I konw that United Artist in Beltsville can develop it for you though. Not sure about in baltimore.

        Do you knowe of you can develop it in D 76 or what would be the way to go?

          You develop it regularly as far as I can recall. Call up a photo lab or teacher just to be sure. You can cross process it, but I would just shoot and get accustomed to it before playing with chemicals.

            Yes, develop it in D-76. Just make sure the temperature of the developer is correct. That can affect the film as well.
