On behalf of Mike Eleftheriades and the Nikon Owner London Group we are pleased to invite you to the next Nikon Owner (London Group) event Beyond Visible Light, Infrared Photography with Simon Weir LRPS. The event will be held on Friday, April 27th 2012 at Kensingtonrooms.
An acknowledged expert in the field, Simon will cover the history of IR, the physics of IR imaging, film vs. digital-based IR, acquisition with modified and unmodified cameras, camera modification and lens selection, the problems of focus and hot-spots, subject matter and typical workflows.
As well as showing many of his own striking infrared images, Simon will also be displaying the work of a number of infrared photographers from around the world.
It promises to be a great evening! Space is limited to 50 seats, so please book your places early to avoid disappointment.
