Better Available Light Digital Photography

Digital available light photography is a hot topic, with magazine articles and online forums dedicated to the subject (Flickr.com's forum boasts 6,588 members), yet the current books on the market are not providing readers with enough crucial information that they need to get successful shots (such as how to deal with digital noise). Two expert authors use stunning real-life photos taken in less-than-ideal lighting conditions to show how available light can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. A new chapter dedicated to wedding photography will help the family photographer or aspiring pro get THE shot of the big day. Fully updated to include essential digital topics such as noise and white balance, this book gives advanced amateur and professional photographers everything they need to take their available light images to the next level.
