Digital Infrared Photography Summary

Digital Infrared Photography by Deborah Sandidge

An all-new guide that shows photographers how to explore the eerily beautiful world of infrared images By adding a filter to the camera lens, digital photographers can capture infrared (IR) images featuring brooding skies, dramatic clouds, and bright white instead of green. Illustrated with hundreds of striking IR images taken around the world, this unique guide shows photographers how to get started and get creative with IR. It covers IR basics as well as imaginative techniques that produce eye-catching images--things like long exposures, multiple exposures, and image enhancement with coloring, mirroring, toning, and layering as well as HDR, Photoshop Photomerge, and other Photoshop tools. The book also includes a Gallery of Friends that showcases IR work from top photographers such as Joe Farace and Russell Hart, plus end-of-chapter assignments. Deborah Sandidge (Orlando, FL) is a director and board member of the Orlando Camera Club and guest instructor at the Harmon School of Photography in Orlando. She is also Creative Director for the League of Infrared Photographers (www.irleague.com). Her photos have appeared in gallery exhibits and in several instructional books and magazines.
