Thank you Phillipe, George, Len, Ric and Walt.

I'll probably get tired of finding and scanning these soon, but there 
are more. :-)

The Infrared Ektachrome (I think this was E-4, as the E-6 one had a 
less interesting colour transposition) needed a deep yellow filter, 
about a Wratten 15, to bring out the best range of colours. Otherwise 
everything would be blue. It wasn't readily available for much of its 
production run as it was about the only film that was E-4 when 
everything else was E-6 already.

As with B&W Infrared, I sometimes used it in my architectural 
photography to bring out textures that were otherwise hard to see, or 
more often to make a dull or boring building appear more interesting 
and exotic.

As an architectural photographer I always tried to put aside my other 
profession as architect, since as a photographer my job was to 
present whatever building in the best way, not to critique it. 
Sometimes hard! :-)
