Product Description
Product Description
Instructive text and images of major tools and equipment make this comprehensive resource essential to every digital photographer's library. With it, they can master both the technical and creative aspects of lighting through a combination of traditional photographic skills and the limitless possibilities of digital technology. Three-hundred-and-fifty photographs--including before and after shots--and expert information demonstrate the key techniques. The full spectrum of light, and how the camera measures it, is explained, along with advice on achieving color accuracy. Photographers can experiment with natural light, bright or dim; explore frontal versus side lighting; and see what can be done indoors using window techniques, tungsten light, flash, candlelight, and post-production techniques. Here's how to make the most out of built-in and portable flashes, fluorescent and studio lights, diffusion, and every possible aspect of photographic lighting.

5.0 out of 5 stars
the best pictorial guide to understand lighting,
By Yuri Syuganov (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Digital Photography Expert: Light and Lighting: The Definitive Guide for Serious Digital Photographers (Paperback)
If you like "scientific" explanations, "Light: science & magic" by Fil Hunter and Paul Fuqua (ISBN 0-240-80275-6) will be a better choice.If you're lazy and want a "cookbook", rather than understanding, search for this key word -- there are plenty of books showing a scene and how (authors thinks) lights were set for each particular picture they chosen (and, boy, how often they're wrong!). If you're ready to take a little effort to understand how lighting works, and prefer pictures and charts with short comments over any other style of explanation, this book is the best I've ever seen (and I've looked through a lot of them).

This review is from: Digital Photography Expert: Light and Lighting: The Definitive Guide for Serious Digital Photographers (Paperback)
This book is not for experts. It is a shallow overview of lighting for amateurs. Even for the newbie there is not enough info here to do anything. You get the same info from any intro photography book. You don't learn how to use any lighting equipment. This book is thin and a waste of money in my opinion. Please be sure to check it out at the bookstore before you buy.

Excellent introduction to lighting,
By Danyy-Boy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Digital Photography Expert: Light and Lighting: The Definitive Guide for Serious Digital Photographers (Paperback)
Very basic, not quite enough detail, but still an excellent introduction to lighting for beginners. You should start here, learn the basics, and then explore other resources to improve your skills.
