Improve Your Night Photography

February 12, 2011 10 Comments

Skilled night photographers can leave any shoot knowing they captured the scene in perfect focus and low noise, but beginning photographers often leave night shoots frustrated. After teaching dozens of photographers how to shoot at night, the author compiled this book to explain the most important tips for night photographers.

This book is targeted to intermediate and advanced amateur photographers who are just beginning to learn night photography. Topics discussed in this book include: how to achieve low noise, how to shoot stars and star trails, shooting HDR images at night, practical tips for focusing the camera in the dark, how to shoot fireworks, and dozens of quick tips to improve your images.

    I want to read the Night Photography book on my computer, how do I do this? Can’t see a link for it? I don’t have a Kindle and don’t want to read it on an iPhone!

    Thanks.

    Jim: I see where to order a copy of your ebook on night photography for a Nook or Kindle, but I’m not seeing how to just download a pdf copy. Where’s the “shopping cart” you referenced above?

    BTW, I’ve really been enjoying your and Dustin’s podcasts. Keep up the good work.
