Very useful introduction to the properties of light, reflection and photographic lighting  jaygheiser | Jul 23, 2008 |  Best reading about lighting..and eye opener (  ) fatma_qatar | May 15, 2008 | One of the best photography books I've read. It's helped me understand the *science* behind photography, instead of just the art, and it's literally altered the way I see the world. (I now walk around and think, "Look! There's a direct reflection off my boot. To photograph that well, I need to move the light over there, or get a light large enough to completely fill the family of angles...") The drawback for me right now is I don't do studio photography, nor with a 20-month-old will I be able to do studio photography any time soon. So it's a bit overkill for the photos I take everyday. (  ) BrianDewey | Nov 19, 2007 | The 2nd edition was great. I expect this to be just as good.  eveso | Apr 27, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

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 (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:00 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
