Infrared Photography – best to stay away from contrasty light like this scene

When shooting with Color IR film it’s best to stay away from contrasty light like this scene – it’s exposures for the shadows which overexposed the the background. Would have been better to photograph this scene from the opposing side where the sunlight is directly hitting the tree.
