Digital Infrared Photography
To record the "invisible light " has always been an
intriguing and fascinating experiment. The infrared part of
the light spectrum is outside the range of what the human
eye can see, but with a digital camera, we are able to
record only this "invisible light " while blocking the
"visible " part.
The results are often unusual, yet
beautiful, renderings of otherwise fairly common scenes.
Since as far back as the 1960 's artists have experimented
with analog infrared photography, as seen on the album
covers of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa. But as we enter the
digital age, new equipment and technology has opened up the
exciting world of infrared photography to all.
This compact guide to infrared photography shows the beauty
of infrared imagery, but also teaches how to shoot these
images with your digital camera. The book provides the basic
theoretical background, some information on cameras, filters
and equipment, and lots of guidance on how to do infrared
photography.
This beautifully designed and illustrated book is the
perfect companion for the aspiring photographer wanting to
explore new photographic territories.
