The theme for a weekly challenge on another forum was “Purple”. I decided to go “Beyond Purple”, and photograph my wife in lingerie, under an ultraviolet light, which caused the lingerie to fluoresce brightly.

If you have a film camera buy a roll of infrared film. It's a trip. I used to be quite the photog, with my Nikkormat FT2 and my world travels*, so I should really dig them out and scan them all.

I do have an old
F2, that sees very little use any more. Perhaps, some time, I'll have to run a roll of infrared film through it. Probably not with pictures of my wife in lingerie, though. She's understandably very particular about what she'll allow to be seen by anyone other than me, and I doubt if I am any time going to be making the investment in materials and equipment to develop my own film again. She's not likely to agree to let me take such pictures, and send them out to anyone else to be processed. As it is, out of four such pictures in this batch that I deemed worth the attention to postprocess out into a finished state, she vetoed one of them, and only agreed to allow the three to be shared that you see here. She would not have been pleased if that one had been on a roll of film, sent out to someone else to be developed. I don't think it was any more risqué or revealing than the three that she did allow to be shared, but she wasn't comfortable with it, so that one is just for my own eyes.
It was going digital that even makes this possible. I can take these pictures, and nobody else sees them before my wife has a chance to approve or veto them. I've got quite a few recent pictures that I really like, but which my wife isn't comfortable with having shared, so only I get to see them. She never would have allowed them to be taken at all if they had to be sent out to someone else to be developed.
