Infrared-Club (Extra-Visible Imaging) Aims and Guidelines
BACKGROUND
Following the change of Founder for this Group, I have updated galleries, invited new members and brought in some new admin staff to help. A fuller entry about the history of the change-over is avavilable in the Journal section. Here I lay out the areas where I would like the Group to develop and the basic “rules” for submissions and and so on.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS - “Extra-Visible-Imaging”
As to the future, I wish to develop this group in two broad directions: first, there is a place for show-casing best practice in photographs and thus we shall have some galleries devoted to aesthetically and technically good images, much as most galleries try to do. Criteria for acceptance to those galleries will be discussed later. Second, and possibly more importantly, I would like to develop areas of photography that are less well-known or that are experimental in the nature of their techniques, NOT limiting ourselves to infra-red work. Here are some examples, although I am open to further suggestions.:
full-spectrum photography;
UV (ultra-violet) photography;
restricted band photography (IR or whatever);
Holga techniques;
blended photography (IR with visible for example);
high dynamic range and tone-mapped images with an emphasis on infra-red;
long/short exposure images;
film photography – EIR images for example;
simulation work in infra-red;
photographic spectra;
software treatments.
The overall idea is to develop what I call “extra-visible-imaging” - images that go beyond what can be seen solely by an instantaneous shot in the visible spectrum.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
Normally, we shall have a 1 vote acceptance policy with certain other guidelines as below:
no images shall be accepted that are outside those deemed permissible by deviantArt policies;
images that are pure visible spectrum images will NOT normally be acceptable, unless as comparison images in the Experimental folders or unless illustrating “extra-visible” aspects;
images in the Showcase galleries will be categorised, normally on a monthly basis, as 1, 2 or 3 star images, with 1 star assessed as adequate, 2 stars being assessed as good, and 3 stars as exceptional;
images for the Experimental folders need NOT have significant aesthetic quality, but MUST be accompanied by a brief explanation of what they are and what aspect of experimental technique they are illustrating (for example,”this image has been obtained using a modified camera such that only ...” or “an experimental image using such and such a technique to obtain an IR blend...”)

The Infrared-Club (Extra-Visible Imaging) %Infrared-Club (https://www.deviantart.com/infrared-club) is very pleased to announce the winner of the Best of September 2012 Poll, chosen by members as: “First try light painting” by SzymonNawara :iconSzymonNawara: http://szymonnawara.deviantart.com/ .

I think this is the first time a non-infrared image has won, but the Group is about Extra-Visible Imaging as well as infrared photography, and we have had more interest in different techniques and more submissions in the new submission category "Exposure Techniques".
Szymon is a fairly new deviant, and ha
Best of September 2012
The Infrared-Club (Extra-Visible Imaging) %Infrared-Club (https://www.deviantart.com/infrared-club) presents the Best of September 2012. We have had a near record number of submissions, at 139, and what must be a record number of members submitting work - 56! Continuing from last month, the quality of submissions has been, overall, excellent, and I notice more comments and replies associated with many images, suggesting greater interaction between members. The number of tone-mapped HDR images and other exposure technique images has increased, much through the work of Leucareth :iconleucareth: behind the scenes, and that has prompted the introduction from this month of
Non-Real by Angle - Randomised News 4.1
Feigenfrucht at %non-real (https://www.deviantart.com/non-real) and I are pleased to present the second in the series of collaboration between our affiliated groups. Feigenfrucht's introduction explains all, and her illustrations show her thoughts about the nature of non-real by angle. Similarly, I have trawled our extensive collection of images for examples that fit the idea, and those are presented below feigenfrucht's examples. Feigenfrucht's original text is here ==>https://non-real.deviantart.com/journal/Randomized-News-4-1-327516983; there are some minor edits for the version presented here.

Thanks for the welcome to the group and all. I don't do any IR photography, minus one failed first attempt at it a few days ago. I'll try again though because I'm interested in it and interested in broadening the scope of what I can do. I do mostly (fake) HDR now, so it doesn't take a whole lot to broaden my horizons here.
I'm mostly here to view great work, get inspired, support/bug my good dA friend, David (surprising how similar of a line those two cross?), and have fun. I haven't yet finished my chainsaw story yet, David, be prepared for that one to hit your comment box at some point!
