I really like this photo, but I'm also kind confused by it since the design looks like it's somehow separate in space from the brick wall. Was that design on a window, and you took the photo through the window? Is it a double-exposure? Did you somehow create the design yourself while developing the film? It's a neat effect, in any case.
It actually was painted in the brick, no trick photography :) What's creating this effect is the high contrast and blown out highlights. In person you can see the brickwork behind the paint, but...

What's creating this effect is the high contrast and blown out highlights. In person you can see the brickwork behind the paint, but the white paint reflected so much more light than the dark bricks that all of that detail is totally lost, giving the illusion of a flat surface.
In theory a skilled darkroom printer could probbaly bring that detail out, but that would take me 8 hours a $20 worth of darkroom papaer haha.
I wasn't planning for the contrast to be that wide (though I do love high contrast), but the store didnt have the film I was looking for and the new young employee at the film store offered my a different film without telling me it was infrared film 😅
Infrared film is very different. It's more sensitive to red light, so things tend to come out in weird ways. Greens come in almost white, and blues can look dark for example.
Ooooh, those are pretty. It makes every tree kinda look like a cherry blossom tree. :P p.s. Was the infrared film you bought B&W, or is that just how you developed the film? (This is how little I...

It was black and white infrared film. Personally I dont shoot color at all. It's probably been like 8 years since I've shot color haha.
Mostly because I just love B&W so much. Also color is a much bigger pain to develop (you have to heat the chemicals) and darkroom printing color much more complex as well.
I hope this quote isn't overly pretensions (and i certainly dont hold anything against color photographers!) but I've always loved it.

Cfabbro is correct, I'm a member of https://tilde.town. One of the memebers hosts a mastodon instance for us, and rather than upload twice I figured I'd just use a direct link.

Oh, this was shot on infrared film? I didn't even know that was a thing, TBH. :P
Yep, if you really want tobsee something trippy check out color infrared film:

Tangentially, where is that image hosted? Is that your personal server?
