Learning Night Photography

Night Photography: Finding Your Way in the Dark Night Photography: Finding Your Way in the Dark
This book just arrived in the mail today and I can't wait to read it.  If you've read it before, let everyone know what you think and post a comment. I'd love to hear from you.

This is what Better World Books has to say about it.

Night photographers have one big thing in common: a true love of the dark. 

Rather than looking at night photography as an extension of daytime shooting with added complications, they embrace the unique challenges of nocturnal photography for the tremendous wealth of creative opportunities it offers. 

That's just what this book does. But if the idea of setting out into the deep, dark night with just your camera (and maybe a cup of coffee) gets your creative juices flowing, dive right in. Lance Keimig, one of the premier experts on night photography, has put together a comprehensive reference that will show you ways to capture images you never thought possible. 

Good for beginners and pros alike, this book will teach you a few things. In this book you'll find history, theory, and lots of practical instruction on technique, all illustrated with clear, concise examples, diagrams and charts that reinforce the text, and inspiring color and black and white images from the author and other luminaries in the field.
