Understanding lighting, natural and artificial, indoors and out, is key to the photographer's art. This comprehensive guide is full of techniques, information and guidance on making use of the light in all situations. Lighting can often be the making or breaking of a photograph - many photographers struggle to capture colour and tone as they would like. This essential guide provides practical techniques that will help the photographer understand how to make the best lighting choices in a wide range of situations. Topics covered include landscape, nature, macro, urban, portraiture (both inside and out), interior and studio photography.

By E. SMITH
Format:Hardcover
A superb book. Very, very informative and useful for anyone doing indoor, outdoor, architecture, studio, family portrait photography, whatever. He explains how the subject is not so important as the light itself - it's all about the light.
His examples are a mix of film and digital, which is nice (too many books aimed at digital these days) and he labours the point of getting it right in camera - an idea sadly been lost by many new photographers with the digital age.
Highly recommended for anyone who is serious about their craft.

I found this book very helpful for anyone. A lot if simple examples and easy language (not only for the photo geeks). Great step up from the beginners level!
