Presenting advances in infrared photography, which has long been an artful alternative to traditional color or black-and-white photography, this guide provides tips for creating vivid infrared prints. Previsualizing the effects of infrared light on a subject, successfully using Adobe Photoshop to heighten the effects of infrared images, and creative toning and framing strategies are discussed. The savings from shooting digitally and using imaging programs during development are also detailed. Before-and-after photographs paired with instructive text provide a visual approach to this ethereal photography form.

Good but a little bit misleading

29 January 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

There are not many good books on infrared photography and this is one of the best. BUT. The title is a bit misleading as I don't think it really covers the digital arena. Many photographers, like myself, are having older/cheaper DSLR's converted to be permanently infrared cameras. This book barely touches on this. It focuses on the authors work using a coolpix and front mounted filters and there is also a large chunk on film infrared and comparisons with digital. This meant I ignored about half the book. Still, the images are good and there is some interesting stuff.

17 July 2015

Format: Paperback

This isn't a book about digital infrared photography techniques at all; it's essentially a book for anyone who wants to take infrared photographs at a WEDDING. So, the title is misleading, though I suppose the cover picture gives a clue. There's also a lot of information about infrared FILM, which again contradicts the title. Add to that the facts that most of the information about post-shoot use of Photoshop is woefully thin and outdated, and some of us have no interest whatsoever in cheesy portraits of luvvy-duvvy couples and you have the recipe for a waste of money.
Do yourself a favour and spend your money on Deborah Sandidge's 'Digital Infrared Photography Photo Workshop', a vastly superior work.

Dated!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Perhaps I would have rated this higher 1 years ago, But I had hoped to learn about processing digital IR images. While there is information about digital cameras, filters and conversions, there are references to old cameras now outdated and a fairy amount about film cameras.

Photos are nice with some good information about anticipating how an image might appear and related composition advice was good.

Not quite what I had hoped for

31 December 2006 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The book has some lovely images, and it is true that looking at great images will help improve your skills.

I was disappointed, however, and primarily because the title led me to believe that it was a professional-level book about infrared techniques. In actuality, it gives a cursory introduction to a narrow swath of ideas about infrared. If you are interested in using infrared in wedding photography, this is a terrific book, as about half of the images are of weddings.

What I didn't learn was how infrared technique differed from traditional digital. What of histograms readings? Photoshop work? or how to adjust the sometimes odd result from the camera into a beautiful print.

In the slim, 123-page book, the author presents a history of infrared, film photography with infrared, the difference between film and digital, and info about cameras and lenses. This takes you to page 64. The next chapter -- finally -- is "Shooting Techniques," pages 65-78. This chapter has fifteen images associated with it, twelve of which are wedding photographs. The remainder of the book is dedicated to how "infrared sees" and -- you guessed it -- a chapter on weddings. That means, pages 65-78 include the "professional techniques." These are items such as the need for longer exposures when using a filter (duh), and that you can use the manual RGB or B&W setting on the camera (making a correction that otherwise would have been done in Photoshop, and with more control.) His reasoning for shooting in RGB? A wedding couple loved the "edgy look" on the camera's screen. Might there be a technical reason?

So, sadly, I didn't learn anything I hadn't already gleaned from a quick trip around the Internet. On the other hand, if you want to learn about digital infrared wedding photography, this would be a great choice. Took bad that wasn't what was advertised.

Very Good Overview

9 March 2007 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Digital Infrared Photography by Patrick Rice is a good overview on the topic, but if you ware wanting an in depth understanding of infrared photography, you are going to have to buy more than this book. As a new eye to the art of infrared photography this book provided me with just enough answers to get started with my camera (though I was disappointed with the lack of discussion on DSLRs)and a good outline to head towards the web to find more information. This is not a book I regret having in my library.

As advertised. A bit outdated now, as far as programs are concerned but that was totally expected.

There are not many options for those of us interested in infrared photography. Found much invaluable reference material. Also purchased Complete Guide to Digital Infrared Photography by Joe Farace which made a good companion book.
