Photographed on Kodak Aerochrome film using a Leica M6 with a 50mm lens and a yellow #12 filter. Aerochrome is a false-color infrared film originally designed for aerial surveying and military use. It’s sensitive to near-infrared light, which it renders as reds and pinks, while visible colors shift toward blue and green. The result highlights healthy vegetation and creates the distinctive infrared look.

This photo was taken on a clear day in open pasture. The goal was to see how Aerochrome would interpret a simple landscape—just a lone tree and sky. The film turned the greens to pink and gave the image a completely different feel. It’s a good example of how film choice and filters can completely change the mood of an otherwise ordinary scene.
