    There seem to be an impressive range of categories as with the old DPR, but there a couple I'm involved in that don't fit too well even so.
    Could 'Infra-red' (or 'Infra red & UV photography') & 'large format' be added?

    @AlanSh is dealing with new categories - I'm sure he'll have a look. Basically I think any category is welcome so long as it will get used.

    Yes, a Infrared photography category would be great!

    I've known several forums dump IR under black & white, which fits some shots, but not those done in false colour, Digital cameras can often pick up subtle colour changes through a 720nm filter, but show lots more when some visible or UV is mixed with the IR, so a separate section would be preferable IMO.

    There has already been a IR specific question come up as a reply to one of my shots in the adapted lenses section so I think it's quite likely to get used :)

    Here's a range of IR+ shots to show what I mean about false colour (In each case editing other than dust spots has been global):
