Inhaltsangabe

The pitfalls of photographing at night are many: autofocus and built-in light meters generally fail at night, long exposures tend to make noisy or blurry photographs, and cameras set to automatic generally trigger the build-in flash in low-light conditions, resulting in unsatisfying images. Lack of understanding and inappropriate techniques often ruin the dramatic potental of nighttime images.

In this book, Amanda Quitenz-Fiedler and Philipp Scholz Rittermann will teach you to overcome these and other obstacles. Their coverage goes beyond the how to of capturing digital images at night and adresses the why to of long-exposure photography, including the importance of understanding how we think and see at night compared with during the day.

Also discussed are hands-on image editing techniques that will help you prepare your images for output. Detailed descriptions cover color balancing, expanding dynamic range, controlling flare, dealing with noise, converting to black-and-white, toning, and much more.

Among the more than 200 stunning images throughout the book are contributions form photographers Michael Penn and Kevin McCollister, who also add to the methods presented in the book by sharing their owen approaches to low-light photography.
