Canon has made significant improvements to lowlight capabilities in its cameras over the past few years, but this doesn't prevent lowlight photography remaining a difficult and challenging area to master. This new eBook from Nina Bailey, experienced lecturer and former member of Canon staff, looks at all the areas you need to understand to get great images of lowlight subjects.

Light, or the lack of it, is the key element to master. Nina explains how light affects the images you take and how to cope with some of the extreme contrasts often encountered in situations with low light levels. Framing, lens usage, exposure and white balance are covered in-depth.

There's a section on how to tackle different subjects, ranging from interiors of churches and cathedrals through to stage shows, from the northern lights and sunset through to nighttime illuminations.

Nina also provides information on post-production techniques, looking in particular at combining HDR files, using Photoshop Elements and Canon's own Digital Photo Professional software.

Packed with stunning images across a broad selection of lowlight subjects and 180 pages long.
