Two that I have are: Laurie White, Infrared Photography Handbook, Amherst Media 1995. Hugh Milsom, Infra-Red Photography: A Complete Workshop Guide, Fountain Press 2001. Of these two, I would say that Milsom's is the better book, and being newer, it also covers a greater range of films, including the Maco 820. But White's book is a good place to start too. Both should be readily available at Amazon. There is also an IR mailing list with not too much traffic on it, so it should not overload your mailbox. I have copied the subscribing instructions etc. below. Have fun! Nathan > Welcome to the infrared mailing list! > > Please save this message for future reference.
