Infrared Book Update

The print edition of Color Doesn't Exist: A Practical Guide to Infrared Photography is almost gone. The international shipping inventory is SOLD OUT, and the USA shipping inventory is running low and expected to sell out soon. I’m planning a revised Second Edition, but it's probably over a year away.

Nikon Raw

I need a Nikon raw image for an upcoming video. If you are interested in sharing an image, here are the requirements. It needs to be a raw file shot on a Nikon converted camera using a 550 to 720nm infrared filter. I prefer an image that contains foliage, sky, and some neutral elements. Clouds would be a bonus subject. Send the image here. Please drop me a quick note with details on the image so I can credit you for the video. Thanks!
