A Guide to Extreme Lighting Conditions in Digital Photography
by Duncan Evans
Published 24 July 2006
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.
The digital revolution has added a myriad of possibilities for artistic and creative interpretation and, with no need for darkrooms and chemical processing, producing a photograph could not be easier. In this, the latest addition to AVA's Digital Photography series, shooting images and post-capture digital enhancement in a variety of environments are fully explored. The book covers a variety of different locations worldwide. The author explains the photographer's motives under the three headings 'shoot', 'enhance' and 'enjoy'. This book will be an invaluable resource for all those wanting to get the best from their digital camera whilst travelling, whether an experienced photographer or happy-snapper.

It also includes a discussion of post-production and touching up. Structured around the three main areas of shooting the image, enhancing the image and enjoying the image, the Digital Photography series makes the world of digital imaging simple while concentrating on the photographic aspect.
