Summary: The word Advanced means introduction in this book
Comment: The book is short, deals only with Black & white, no mention of E6 Infra red material. It is written in a large font with 1.5 lines spacing, It also has lots of Photos to bulk it up.
It is a good introduction but don't expect anything too technical or advanced.
It takes around 3 Hours to read from Cover to Cover. From that i gained 3 facts 1) Agfa make a IR Film; no sample photographs just the mention it is only availabe in selected areas. 2)The Waston Master based on Selenium is better than meters based on Silicon Blue Cells, but of course braket your exposures. 3) You can check a digtal camera for IR sensitivity by looking at a tv remote control on the LCD display, as the remote is operated. There were no samples of IR pictures taken with digital Cameras.
The book was well laid out & was very readable but was in no way advanced or technical.
The development section was weak. I would have expected the writer own methods to be discussed & suggestions for different temes/temperatures/dilutions to have be done. The problem of the weak image was ignored, often you get a weak image with IR photography:- poor metering, poor development, wrong IR Filter.
The Section on lighting for portaits was far too long, & could have being replaced in part with a section on E6 IR Photograhy or a history of IR photography or Digital IR photography, or with a piece on skin colour & IR. Hard lighting on Kodak HS vs Ilford SFX200, vs Konica 750nm, is okay but in an Advanced book you are not expecting compleate chapters missing.
If you buy this book as a advanced text you will want another book, buts its okay as an introduction.

Summary: What an excellent book
Comment: In thi book Laurie White rounds up what she started in her first one. It is pretty technical and for someone like me it is grate. I didn't find a nother place with this much information on this film. She also shows color pictures so one can learn to see infrared in diferent scenes. Really helpful
Rating: 1
Summary: NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY
Comment: Very big disappointment! This text offers nothing new or advanced that isn't covered in other, better texts on infrared photography. The photos that illustrate the book are pedestrian and misleading at best. Not a very good effort in writing or shooting at all.Steer clear of this book.
