Main description:

Digital Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography discusses the growing number of applications of ultraviolet and infrared photography. Scientific and technical photographers, such as those engaged in scientific, medical, forensic, and landscape and wildlife photography routinely use ultraviolet and infrared techniques, and these techniques are growing in popularity in creative photography. This is the first book to address the application and potential for both ultraviolet and infrared photography in both science and art. Written for the seasoned photographer, author Adrian Davies discusses the how-to of ultraviolet and infrared digital recording with a dissection of techniques, camera requirements and camera conversion, together with a useful appendix of resources and equipment currently available. Digital Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography is an essential read for photographers using these tools either professionally or creatively.
