Rad Drew began creating infrared photos in 2019 with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. With the right accessories, apps, and processing, it's possible to create engaging, dynamic infrared photos with the iPhone. Join Rad as he shares the accessories needed, and favourite camera apps, and demonstrated his post processing workflow for crafting iPhone infrared photos.
(Android users are welcome with the understanding that some apps presented may not apply to Android phones.)
Throughout the year we have held 5 rounds, with different themes, and chosen five winners to go into the round 6 final.
You will view all 25 round winners images and hear the selectors comments on each. Our selectors are Martin Addison FRPS, Carol Olerud FRPS and Mark Reeves FRPS.
The Raymond Wallace Thompson trophy will be presented to the overall winner. If they are online they will be invited to say a few words.
