2.0 out of 5 stars
Nice pictures, but...,
By Thomas Hastings (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Infrared Landscape Photography (Paperback)
There seems to be little content here. Some nice images, but I didn't learn any how-to from the techniques. This is another guide to lucky dice-rolls with infrared.

No redeeming qualities,

This review is from: Infrared Landscape Photography (Paperback)
Infrared photography is ripe for somebody to come along and codify it. It's a very confusing subject for a number of reasons. For one, the various infrared films have different sensitivities to infrared. For another, there are no commercially produced infrared meters. Between the two, almost all infrared texts give vague advice on exposure, development, film speed rating, and every other aspect of photography. Very few people are willing to give prescriptive advice.
That said some people produce beautiful images with huge tonal scales and refined highlights, so it must be doable and it keeps aspiring IR photographers searching for a master to reveal the techniques and simplify the form. Todd Damiano is not one of these people. Every shot in this book has blown highlights and blocked shadows. They look like they were printed on an unmodified inkjet. They are flat and lifeless and the text is fairly generic and not at all specified to the subject. In fact the images are so bad, I went and looked at other images to make sure I wasn't wrong about the possibilities of IR. Not only would I not buy anything else by this author, I wouldn't by anything else from this press. You can find much better information and examples on the Web.

2.0 out of 5 stars
a little disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Infrared Landscape Photography (Paperback)
I was a little disappointed in both the images and text. The author/photographer could have done more with the landscapes he had to work with.
