Product Description
Infrared photography can provide unique and flattering portraits, eye-catching close-ups of flowers, travel photographs unlike any you've ever seen before, and, if you know a few tricks, a new perspective on sports photography. You may have seen infrared photos without even being aware that they are infrared images! This full-color, hands-on book includes numerous do-it-yourself tutorials that show you how to convert your existing camera for IR use. You'll learn how to take infrared photos with both snapshot cameras and digital SLRs using a full range of shutter speeds and lens openings. You don't need a costly IR filter - you'll learn how to make your own! You'll be amazed to learn that many cameras, including dSLRs and consumer cameras like Canon PowerShot and Nikon CoolPix models, can be converted to shoot infrared photos full-time. Digital Infrared Pro Secrets will help you blow the lid off of IR photography!

A review after reading the book. October 6, 2008
To be fair about this book, I need to mention that I am an Industrial/Scientific Photographer and I was looking for a little bit more technical information then what is generally presented in this book.
I did fined this book to have some good parts. That is, the parts of the book that deal with what is happening technically, I found to be somewhat interesting. But, over simplified for my needs. But, remember, I like technical things.
If you are looking for a book for getting started in Infrared Digital Photography for fun and not doing anything technical with the images, I think this would be a grate book for you. It takes you from what is IR radiation, how to modify your camera to work with IR radiation and then talks about how to artistically manipulate the images for a grate looking affect.
 Great for beginners September 25, 2008
As an advanced Infrared shooter, this book did not deliver enough advanced information. It also did not showcase much of the beauty that is possible with fine Infrared photography. BUT - if you are a beginner or intermediate practitioner, then I would say this is a great and highly recommended primer into a very sparsely documented subject. The information is clear and well documented.
 There are no "pro secrets" revealed in this book July 2, 2008
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
The overwhelming majority of this book is devoted to photography basics. There are no pro secrets. Everything in this book is available on the Internet at a number of IR photography web sites. It's unlikely that a pro photographer would be clueless as to figuring out which filter sizes a specific lens requires (it's printed on the lens) or that a tripod is a must for long exposures. His section on post-processing is limited to telling the reader to purchase expensive Photoshop plug-ins. It gives the impression the author is a shill for the plug-in authors. Don't waste your money on this book.

This book is great. The information provided will help anyone that is thinking about trying infrared photography. Digital cameras make the process so much easier without the hassle of trying to find a pro lab that will develop infrared film. This was a good purchase and I intend to get lots of use out of it.
Great resource for Digital IR work February 18, 2008

I picked up this book after already being really interested in IR photography, or as David corrects, is near IR photography.
He shows you how you can convert your camera, but also recommends LifePixel for conversion, which I had done. He does not steer you wrong there with that suggestion. I do have some sample images on my blog at [...]
David gives you several ideas for dIR photography and more than just typical IR subjects as well. This is a definate keeper.
