Monday, April 28, 7pm · Infrared Photography (in person meeting)

At this in person meeting, Knapp Hudson will give a presentation on infrared photography. Knapp writes: the purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of digital infrared photography (IR). You will learn about the differences between near-infrared and far-infrared light, the options for infrared filters, how to begin, camera conversion services, equipment concerns, and the fundamental principles of processing an IR file. This is not a training session on shooting and processing IR. I will not cover the creation of an infrared aesthetic through software or shooting IR film.
