Product Description
Product Description
This guide begins with an explanation of the technical aspects that need to be considered, such as the best equipment to use for night and low-light photography, which films to choose, how to ensure correct exposure in tricky situations, and understanding natural and artificial light. Following a subject-by-subject format, the book then covers a range of different themes and lighting situations - from landscapes and portraits to buildings, funfairs and firework displays, to weather phenomena such as lightning, and candlelight, twilight, sunrise and sunset. The author explains how even the most inexperienced photographer can take successful shots on the very first attempt.

This is an excellent book for anyone considering breaking into Low-Light Photography. It comes stacked with a range of chapters dealing specific subject types and a wealth of indispensable information. It arms any photographer to attempt the most adventurous shots. The frank and matter of fact writing style is also very refreshing in a world of maybes, which is always backed with actual guides, which I find myself copying into my little photo note book which I carry with me everywhere. I thoroughly recommend this book, possibly the best book I've purchased to date on Photography.

Although my personal photographic library is not particularly extensive I have collected quite a large range of the more popular technical manuals. This book tops the list for me. Inspiring to any level of photographer or cinematographer, it would be worth the price of admission for the photos alone, let alone for the wonderful flowing writing style that Lee Frost so casually but eloquently employs.
Essential reading for anyone with more than a passing interest in photography of any desciption.

Of all the books I have purchased this one has had the most effect on my results, which were effectively instantaneous, and is the one book I wouldn't part with. With the basic equipment and this book you will be amazed how stunning your photographs can be. Low light photography is now my favourite subject. Well worth the money.
