"Probably the best introduction to infrared photography available. Written in an easy to understand format with plenty of examples of the different effects of various filters and films. Useful even to experienced infrared photographers. A lot of data and graphs showing the sensitivities of currently available infrared films. I was given this book as a present and wondered how useful it would be to me as a fairly experienced infrared photographer. It was a pleasant surprise to find that I was drawn into the book and still pick it up from time to time. Highly recommend to all." Clive Warren 1999 |
