Cameras can capture what the eye can't perceive: the presence of infrared light. Shooting infrared (IR) with a digital camera makes it easier than ever to create distinctively dreamlike, high-contrast black-and-white pictures. Using a wealth of stunning images, this thorough resource explores the technical and creative possibilities of this unique and increasingly popular medium. All the basics are covered for shooting infrared, along with an overview of equipment. Photographers can get tips on focus and exposure, IR filters and having a camera converted to shoot specifically in infrared. There are instructions for processing and printing the photos - including toner effects and faux colour. One glance through this guide shows why infrared pictures are fun to take and beautiful to look at.

This is an excellent overview of the subject dealing with the science (without blinding you), equipment, taking and processing. More than enough detail to get you started sucessfully without bogging you down with irelevancies. Yes, there is more to know, but this is where you start.

This book is very disappointing. The author's photographs are for the most part rather boring and uninspired. There is no advice on recreating different styles of infrared photography, such as the classic Marsden style or portraiture. Nothing even about setting white balance correctly or which Raw converter software can handle the IR range. Instead we have pages of the author's favourite plug-in filters - hardly IR-specific and only relevant if you like creating ghastly effects. Very disappointing and a warning against books that put the word 'complete' in the title.

A good basic book on IR Photography. Recommended for anyone who is travelling the "learning curve" I have found that researching others views pays off.
