You can get the same technical data that is in the book from the info that comes with the film. The photographs are not that great either. Don't waste your money on this book. Any other book on infrared photography is surely better than this.

Totally enjoyed this book! Takes the reader through all the necessary steps to create and print infrared images of the nude figure. Easy to understand text, covering exposure, filters, processing and printing. Expert advice on how to control this wonderful film and adapt it to shooting the nude. Also a stunning collection of infrared nude images that truly inspire. Highly recommended!

This book finally showed me how to shoot nudes using infrared film. The text is clear and easy to understand, so that I could apply what I learned to shooting the nude with this unique film. The author details exposures, filters,lighting, focusing, developing and precautions. The stunning portfolio of infrared nudes truly inspires one to emulate the author's results. I congratulate Mr. Paduano on writing a book on infrared that photographer's can put to use and on the brilliant work he does in b&w infrared!

The photos are mediocre, and all high key, and the cover photo is the best. The how to of using infrared film is sorely lacking, it is summed up as 'try it and figure it out for your camera'. The helpful hints are how IR is seen by the film, and what the red dot focus mark on a manual focus lens was for. As with most subjects you can search get the information on the internet, but some books have photos and invaluable reference information. This book, however, is not worth owning; and the print date of this book has nothing to do with how poor I thought this book was.
