Color Infrared Kodak EIR II

I adopted 3 or 4 rolls of Kodak EIR (a very rare color infrared film) from a friend at UCSB. He left a whole box of interesting films in the freezer of our house when he moved out. I first used the film in December of 2013 ( http://www.wavebelly.com/2013/12/color-infrared.html ), using a yellow filter I got from my grandpa to bring out the reds in the film.

In bright sunlight, I meter the film at 1/125th of a second, f11, and ISO 200.

I've waited a long time to use my second roll. The first several frames are a little fogged (red specks can be seen in the shadows) reflecting the age of the film (15-20 years old) as well as the fact that I loaded it in subdued light rather that complete darkness, but it still looks good.
