"They'd have to be IR film, the filter's meaningless without the film... My only problem with that is typically shooting IR requires longish exposure times, and these are wild animals. But on the other hand, the light's REALLY bright down there so... Some of them certainly LOOK like IR images.
R."
Just a note on IR film... Rollei IR400 with an R72 requires a compensation of three to four stops. So, if the animals aren't running, you can still get good IR effect at almost handheld shutter speeds in bright light. Or, set the camera to an iso of 25 or 50.
GREAT photos by the way.

Brandt says he shoots 120mm film and that he does use Photoshop for his pictures (with a Wacom tablet and an Apple. Some of the blur in his pictures seems to be added later thougth he swears (without revealing how) that he gets all his blur "in camera" on the negatives. I question this because some of the blur and sharpness fall in different planes. Consider the last photo in the PDF linked here of two rhinos. Both are sharp on their faces while their bodies blur- and they are stading behind each other. Or the elephant and baby in the first one- the baby stands between the mother's legs with mama's trunk and rear legs in focus yet the baby is not. I think he does at least some of it digitally. Calls Photoshop "the world's best darkroom" //www.nickbrandt.com/UserImages/11/11129/file/Professional_Photographer_Jul_06(1).pdf He is sometimes cryptic about what he does- I recall one time he said the "effects" came from film damaged on the trip. Says he uses a 0.9 ND filter plus a red filter which would really knock some light out of his exposure and require longer shooting times. Lenses include a 55mm, 100mm and a 200mm (about 100mm on a 35mm camera). I attempted to copy his style a little bit with my IR converted point and shoot at the San Diego Zoo.
