ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses six main topics. They are all imaging techniques that deviate fromthe ‘usual’ techniques discussed up to this point. They may require particular skills,material and apparatus such as special filters, films or sensors, dedicated lenses, viewing devices, etc. Infrared (IR) photography, ultraviolet (UV) reflectance and UV fluorescence
photography are used often to determine properties in captured scenes that are not distinct
enough or even invisible under visible light. Underwater photography needs specialized
waterproof equipment. Panoramic photographs can be created using an array of techniques and
equipment, from conventional to very specialized. Stereo imaging requires pairs of cameras
with matched lenses, linked shutters and diaphragms. The results, which appear three-
dimensional, are often viewed with specialized accessories. Finally, working with liquid
emulsions as well as transferring pictures from Polaroid material comes under the heading of
home-made printmaking.
