Master Low Light Photography

Most photographers shoot in abundant sunlight. The problem is, full sun creates harsh, unflattering shadows that undermine images. Working in low light -- in early morning or at twilight or when Mother Nature cues the clouds or fans in the fog -- can help photographers produce stand-out images.

Photographers will learn to analyze light and determine the best camera settings for creating captivating low-light images outdoors. Composition--the artful arrangement of all of the image elements -- is detailed next. From there, Hummel provides text and illustrations to guide readers through the art of producing low-light images of sunrises and sunsets; the moon and stars; hot air balloons, city lights, and fireworks; and nature and landscape photography. Hummel then moves on to discuss how photographers can use filters and camera-stabilizing tools to enhance the technical quality of their shots. Armed with the applications outlined in this book, photographers will be able to produce outstanding shots during off-peak hours.
