From the Author: Sample Photos

Fireworks (Click on image to zoom) Most of the time when shooting fireworks, the subject is the fireworks themselves but for this photo I tried to concentrate on the boats in the bay that were there to see the fireworks. To time the photographs, I had the camera locked into a tripod and used a cable release with the camera set to bulb mode so that the shutter stayed open as long as I held the button on the release. Taken at 2.7 seconds, f/16 and ISO 400

Ferris Wheel (Click on photo to zoom) This photograph is of a ferris wheel in motion and the pattern is actually made up of the light trails as the wheel turns. This was taken using a 3 second shutter speed to give the wheel time to move enough to get a good pattern. I zoomed in very close so that the image was more abstract, and to me, more interesting. Taken at 3 seconds, f/22 and ISO 200

Dave Navarro (Click on photo to zoom) Photographing concerts can be really tough. To freeze the action in the low light, a shutter speed of 1/160 second was used along with a wide aperture of f/2.8 and the ISO was pushed all the way to ISO 2500. I waited until the light was at it’s brightest, then took a quick series of shots with this frame being the best of the three. Taken at 1/160 second, f/2.8 and ISO 2500

Lighting Photo Workshop

Lighting Photo Workshop Feature

• ISBN13: 9780470114339
• Condition: NEW
• Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.

Lighting Photo Workshop Overview

A rigorous practical guide to photographic lighting techniques, complete with hands-on assignments

Offering digital photographers a complete course in photographic lighting, this book covers everything from using flash systems and studio lights to working outdoors in bright or low-light conditions. Full-color examples show how the right lighting can enhance color, improve contrast, and open the door to new creative possibilities.

Customer Reviews

I do some teaching of basic digital photography where my emphasis is on analyzing the scene before the picture is taken. Nothing is more fundamental to this than analyzing the condition of light--its availability and quality.

This Wiley book Lighting is one of their `Photo Workshop' series that has a proven formula. The author, Chris Bucher starts with a discussion of how cameras see and measure light, and how that affects photos. The remainder of the book considers real-world lighting situations such as indoor/outdoor lighting, night and low light photography and creating dramatic photos with light. In my experience, the only way to become proficient in this kind of subject is through practice and training one's eye, so the workshop nature of the book is appreciated.

I have found a number of teaching points in Lighting which I'm including in my own course, so I'm happy to recommend this book to others.
