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.

The infrared spectrum of light lies just beyond what we can see as humans. For some, infrared photography has been just as elusive and mysterious. While capturing this invisible light has been possible for years, the process has been steeped in tedium, expense and unpredictable results. Because of these reasons, many photographers have only dipped their toes in this beautiful medium, or avoided it altogether. The digital photography revolution has rendered this unique art form much more accessible, and simpler, than in the analog photography days.
Cyrill Harnischmacher's Digital Infrared Photography smoothly carries you through the process of creating breath- taking digital infrared images. The author correctly states in the introduction, "Even though the advance of digital technology represents a simplification in comparison to using analog photography, it would be wrong to assume that infrared photography is quick and easy." But the book certainly makes it much, much easier.
The book starts with a concise explanation of infrared theory and enough on the physics of infrared light to allow for a basic understanding. We quickly move to equipment, and this section will be especially helpful to beginners, as the author weighs the pros and cons of the myriad of camera, filter and lens choices (and methods for each) for capturing infrared images.
We move inside the camera for the unique technical aspects of shooting infrared (white balance, exposure and settings) and start to look through the viewfinder (composing the shot). A seasoned photographer may wonder why the author goes through such basic elements, like composing and setting up shots, to an audience with presumably some knowledge of photography.
The digital photography revolution has changed the approach to all aspects of photography for everyone on the planet. If you're not using digital devices, you're using a smaller and smaller selection of equipment, and if you are, there are many interesting areas now open to you that had high admission prices in the film era.
One of those areas is digital infrared photography. Perhaps you've never considered infrared photography. It is the world pictured through infrared "eyes," using wavelengths largely outside of the visual spectrum. It is possible because many CCD and CMOS sensors used in today's digital cameras are sensitive to these wavelengths that are invisible to the human retina. It is especially appealing to those interested in still life pictures, in landscape photography, and to those who love to play and hone their skills in the digital darkroom. Infrared imaging has great importance in astrophotography as shown in the images from the Spitzer Space Telescope, our prime astral infrared imager.
This book by Cyrill Harnishchmacher is a great introduction. In simple, flawlessly translated text, the book briefly touches on the physics of infrared light, the equipment necessary to begin experimenting in the medium, then spends the rest of the book on the practical steps necessary to make stunning infrared images.
Space is given to lighting, different filters and their influence on the final product, composition and shot selection. A variety of subjects of covered, including tabletop, still life, infrared lightbrush (using a flashlight to illuminate the subject), macro photography, and using a "dark" flash.
The last third of the book covers the digital darkroom.
