All You Ever Wanted to Know About Digital UV and IR Photography, But Could Not Afford to Ask | |
13. Final Cut
I can end this article in no better way than
wetting the reader's appetite with samples of images taken with
digital UV/IR methods. Some of the images displayed below could
easily have been obtained with film-based cameras as well, while
others would be virtually impossible to capture within the
constraints of film. For me, the final result is far more
important than the means to that end. I hope future photographers
partaking on the digital UV/IR scene will enjoy this kind of
photographic expressions as much as I do.
