An Introduction to Photographing Landscapes at Night

An Introduction to Photographing Landscapes at Night  is a short, but content rich overview of the essential tools and techniques required to start a journey into shooting after sunset.

This Night Photography eBook is the little brother to Seeing the Unseen, published in March 2012, which is a much more thorough and comprehensive book on the subject of Landscape Photography at Night. Seeing the Unseen is US$15, and currently the most comprehensive eBook available on the subject.

 

Product Specifics

Night Photography is a fascinating discipline, but also, one that is full of mystery and ideas of complexity and difficult to learn techniques. This book helps to dispel that myth and explains everything needed to get started in very easy to understand language.

Since the first 8000 copies were downloaded in only 2 months, there has been universally positive feedback to this Introduction.

It could be considered essential reading before embarking on the more intermediate and advanced topics covered in the next eBooks to be released; Available Night Light, the Complete Guide to Photographing Landscapes at Night.

    Hi, I am Steve and live in Denver Colorado.
    Just want to write and thank you for the work you do. I just bought your intro book and enjoyed it. I also noticed that you are going to come out with more night photo ebooks this coming year. If you are at all wondering what questions people might have or at least me, here are a couple. As far as light painting, what types of lights do you use? Do you just use a led light or a warmer color? I have noticed in some of my photo and others that sometimes there is a greenish hue in the sky? What is that? Do you ever get that and how to deal with it. Of course post processing questions of all sorts. There is a photographer http://portfolio.goldpaintphotography.com/p744063828/h2ec8ac44#h2ec8ac44
    This arch shot almost looks painted. How does one do this? Is it color efex pro type filters? It seems that if I did it, I would wash out the arch. How is the color retained so much? These are some of the questions I have and maybe others too. Hopefully this might help, cause I know I need some help:) Thanks for your time.

    Dear Steve, Firstly, thanks for your comment. I have just finished writing my new Night Photography eBook and I answer the majority of those questions in it.

    It will be published in March.

    Processing is a tough one to cover in eBooks, but I have addressed some issues.

    In answer to one of your more direct questions, yes, those images of the arches are light painted, the red sandstone is quite a warm color anyway, and reflects the light very well..

    Cheers for now…

    I live in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. My country is small and densely populated. The main problem is here the light pollution. Driving the distances you gave in your intro brings no relief, it brings me only in other country’s. Can you spend some attention how do deal with this ‘huge’ problem?

    And can you spend some attention how to make photo’s like the one on the link below?

    My last question is do you publish ‘Single Frame Techniques ‘ and ‘Multiple Frame Techniques’ at the same time?

    Greetz,

    Mariska

      Thank you Mariska for the comments.

      Light Pollution is one of those things that is very much outside our control, and frankly, there are not too many things you can do about it. Simply, the further away you can get from the source of the pollution the lesser the effects, but as you say, in a small country with a large population, your options are limited.

      You may simply have to concede that there are certain types of images that are just not possible.

      You may find that there is less light pollution early in the morning than in the evening, when most people are in bad. Other than that, you may be better to concentrate your efforts on using the light pollution to enhance your natural landscape images.

      I cover some of this and light painting in my new eBook – Seeing the Unseen – How to Photograph Landscapes at Night, which will be published in March.

      Finally, yes, the Single and Multiple Frame Techniques are now covered together in the same book I mention above.
