The two extremes of lighting where there is far too much light or not enough - are the most challenging aspects of photography. This book removes the need for trial and error by explaining just how to digitally capture the world of high-contrast lighting where the landscape shimmers with light; and the other worldly extreme of low light, where exposures are long, and beautiful visual effects are possible. Structured to cover a wide range of extreme lighting situations, this comprehensive guide also details equipment and specialist digital techniques: from painting with light to controlling reflections and avoiding burn out. Using a broad selection of inspirational images, the creation of each is uncovered step by step to instruct the photographer in mastering any extreme lighting situation.
