Beautiful Photographs
There are just beautiful photographs in this book! I have always been interested in infrared photography, but always found it to be too complicated to deal with. Not any more! The author explains his easy to accomplish method of digital infrared photography with his modified cameras. I am going to get a Nikon Coolpix on Ebay just for this purpose.

This is a must have book for ANYONE interested in infrared photography. Great textbook!

The BEST Infrared Book!
This is by far the best book on infrared that I have read. The title is misleading because there is a lot of information about infrared film as well as digital infrared. As far as I can tell, this is the only book written on doing infrared with a digital camera.

The history and technical applications of infrared imaging were fascinating and informative. The author really did his research. The sections on "What infrared sees" were very interesting. The effects infrared has on trees, grass, blue skies, etc. are what make infrared distinctive.

The info on wedding and portrait photography have proven to be the most valuable to me because they are the areas that I will make real money with infrared. Nature and landscape photography are wonderful and infrared gives a new look to some familiar scenery, but my wedding and portrait clients pay the bills.

The photographs were just great. I saw many PPA merit quality images throughout the book. Quite inspiring!

There is absolutely something for everyone that has an interest in infrared photography. This book is a can't miss purchase!

Awesome Infrared can be FUN again!
When the world of photography went DIGITAL, many of us left Infrared Photography behind thinking that digital imaging would not permit photographing in the Infrared spectrum. NOW we have this new book which we can again use equipment for unusual and beautiful Infrared. Using this manual makes it all possible!
