Product Description:
An amazing (and some would say magical) resource on photographic lighting that has been talked about in the community and recommended for years.This highly respected guide has been thoroughly updated and revised for content and design - it is now produced in full color!It introduces a logical theory of photographic lighting so if you are starting out in photography you will learn how to predict results before setting up lights. This is not primarily a how-to book with only set examples for you to copy. Rather, Light: Science and Magic provides you with a comprehensive theory of the nature and principles of light to allow you to use lighting to express your own creativity.
Numerous photographs and illustrations provide clear examples of the theories, while sidebars highlight special lighting questions.Expanded chapters on available light in portraiture, as well as new information on digital equipment and terminology make this a must have update!
*New four color art package with contemporary lighting examples
*Based on the behaviour of light
*Theory book for serious photographers

I was skeptical because of the title and feared it ... Read More

Rating:  - the glory of sweat stains
i wasn't paying attention or the information has leaked out through the trade off for real estate in my fibrous container yearning for relevancy. that is why i need you. to bolster the methods of a successful preparation. but i haven't bought you yet. and here i pronounce indecision. there are just too many. what if i was limited to walking to the local bookshop? i would scoff at the washed up selection of used guidebooks then feel cheated by tweaked reprints of the industry standards. this industry ...
