The only negative remark I can make is the focus on mostly commercially available software filters in the last few book chapters. It is not stated clearly in the book that those software filters are no freeware and need to be purchased seperately. Here I wish the author would have mostly stayed with the available PS program filters or referring to freeware filter plugins. But this is a minor issue. Overall I can highly recommend this book since it will open up a complete new way to do creative photography.
However I personally think that the book is too wide, covering everything from the floor to the ceiling in one book. I do know and do not want to spend my money for things I can find freely on the net. Lighting technicality which creates infrared, conversion versus filter, etc. are things I do not want to read. Other photography techniques such as composition, focusing, and lighting are better covered by many books, and, when you jump into infrared, most possibly you have mastered your DSLR.
The only thing that I need is digital post processing which unfortunately only take a small fraction of this book. It just does not fair to buy a book for reading only 10% of it.
I wish it was on Kindle or a Digital Format with active Hot Spots for Words and Technique.
I have become spoiled with my tablet and Electronic Books and Info.
The Writing is clear and Packed with Good, Understandable Details.
This Book is a bargain and I do understand how much time, work and effort went into the creation of this book.
This is a "Must" Book for Digital Infrared Education... it is worth your time and money.

Deb Sandige's book is outstanding. This is not an overly technical book. Yes there has to be discussion of nanometres and White Balance but this is the precursor to letting you loose on the world of infrared photography. There is a chapter on indoor IR photography, something I'd never considered. In addition she uses HDR (High Dynamic Range) with IR to create some stunning shots.
If like me you're no expert in Photoshop she guides you through Channel Mixing, and other techniques and filters to further enhance your IR photography. You can also upload your assignments (one at the end of each chapter) to a website for review.
I can confirm what the previous reviewer said - she does respond to your IR queries.
I love this book and am so pleased I bought it. It has helped me to think about shooting thematically as well as to use HDR and indoor shooting. Can't wait for the rain to stop so I can get out shooting.
Any bugbears that have arisen have come about from the technology and it's capability and not the book. My camera is a Canon EOS 550D, and has one of the best IR filters built in, which means trying to do infra-red photography using just a screw in filter and not butchering your camera to remove the built-in filter makes for very long exposures and a lot of frustration. That's a fault in my research and reading and not the information in the book, in fact the opposite is true, the book talked long and loud about the subject and set me right on many fronts.
I have been hugely impressed by this book, and will be looking to other books in the series for advice.
I recommend this book very strongly, and recommend you read it BEFORE you get the equipment.
