Good introductory book, but outdated November 27, 2008
This book is a great introduction to low-light photography. It covers many of the basics, and gives some very interesting hints, like the fact that it never really gets completely dark. The comparison between two pictures of the author's house blew me away. One was taken with a multi-hour exposure at night, the other during the day, and you can barely tell the difference.
The book, however, suffers from being very, very out of date. The only mention of digital cameras is right at the beginning where it states that they basically are uninteresting at the moment. That was true when it was written, but not today. The information is largely still relevant, although the comparison of ISO ratings, discussion of the merits of various types of film, uprating film, and the relative merits of transparencies and negatives, are completely irrelevant to most photographers today (and extremely relevant to a shrinking few still).
If you want a good introduction on low light photo, this is a good choice. If you want to know how to use your digital camera to specifically to do so, this is not the book for you.
Low Light Photography Review May 6, 2008
I found this book both very interesting and very helpful. There is a good amount of technique specific information as well as supporting photographs. There are amazing photographs to be taken by just using a tripod and the Bulb setting on the camera. The only downside is the book was published before digital photography really started to take off so all the information is presented using film and film cameras as the media. An updated version of this book could be useful.
 Nice book, but not for the digital age March 22, 2008

As above its a very nice book, most of the topics will work for digital cameras, but its not aimed at digital cameras. Hopefully it will be updated one day.
For the digital age its missing HDR photography and Software post processing and image manipulation
it does mention digital cameras, but they take up 1/2 of one page in the book, and the cameras they talk about have "mega pixel" imaging. A far cry from todays 10 and 12 megapixel cameras.

I received an email about a new edition of this book coming out the 18th of March .
I ordered it .
Today I got an email saying I would arrive Friday or Saturday [ today ]
It came today . It's the 2006 version - it's the same as the other copy I have .
This book is mainly for film and very little on Digital cameras .I wanted some more information on Digital .
I'm not sending back but won't be buying from this writer and try to find same stuff on a different web site .
 A great introduction to low-light photography March 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is split into chapters dealing with different subjects relating to low light photography. All the chapters are easy (and fun) to read, and the pictures are great. But what I like best about this book is that it will give you very specific advice. It's not some dull, try-until-you-get-it-right advices, but it will tell you exactly which aparture and shutter speed to use in a given situation. Why doesn't everybody do it this way?
