Learn to harness and capture infrared wavelengths with an infrared-converted digital camera. The authors teach you how those invisible light wavelengths will be recorded in-camera and the steps you'll need to take to ensure the best-possible photographs. You'll study myriad images that show how various materials-from skin, hair, and eyes to the sky, trees, grasses, and clouds-will appear in your images and learn to predict the way that the colors and tones you perceive with your naked eyes will be rendered in-camera. You will discover compositional techniques that will visually engage your audience. Finally, you'll learn how to use artistic applications to add selective color to your black & white infrared images, how to create dramatic color infrared photographs that take infrared capture to a whole new level, and how to edit your images in postproduction for enhanced contrast and superb detail.
