Comments on: Digital infrared photography: Do more than take creepy shots of your cat

Digital Infrared Photography by Cyrill Harnischmacher covers basic theory for shooting in infrared, as well as guidance on capturing images and post-processing.

Why does this seem like an advertisement? Maybe referring to a specific book, naming the author, the price of the book, and it gets better, clicking on the title of book links you to a page to purchase it!

I agree with flyingfieryfox.... this is not really a review of the book, but more of an advertisement. If you truly read this book, could you give us example of a useful tip you found? How about the style of the writing (technical vs layman)? Does it apply more to point and shoot (like your camera) or SLR? Get the idea?

Is there an EDITOR in the house?

Are you serious? Rules against 50 spam ads in the comments of an article have nothing to do with what the editors are allowed to post. Maybe you are new to gadget blogs but they post links to retailers with particular products quite regularly. Perhaps next time when he thinks about submitting a helpful tip, he simply shouldn't because it might offend someone.

The fact is, this is not an advertisement for the book. I wrote about it for precisely the reason I stated in the post. I was testing the H50 which has infrared NightShot and was curious what could be done with it. It just happened that this book was announced yesterday so I linked to it. I just thought there might be other people out there reading Crave who also were curious about how best to experiment with infrared shooting. I have not read the book and was not recommending the book beyond saying it was available.

Blatant advertisement. The article doesn't even give a hint of what could used for. It only and exclusivelly sends you to buy the book.

Make no mistake: CBS OWNS CNET!

For those who actually want to know about a better way of using an infrared camera: you can use it in the winter to check for cold spots in your house.

And I'm not sure what CBS has to do with me writing about this book. I was just sharing information and is no different than when I or anyone else on a blog writes about a new product being available. Sorry you all found this so offensive.
