Steve -

You will want to do a little testing before shooting anything important. This
is because I doubt that the Holga is infrared opaque, so simply placing your
camera in direct sunlight may fog the film. Of course, this depends upon which
infrared film you decide to use, so you'll want to test the film in direct
sunlight before doing anything "serious."
