DIGITAL PHOTO EXPERT - LIGHT AND LIGHTING

Light is the key element in photography - it both creates the image and defines the style and feel of a picture. How does light work, both inside and outside the digital camera? What do you need to know about sensitivity, colour temperature and exposure? One of a new series, Digital Photography Expert, by Michael Freeman, Light & Lighting explores the capabilities of digital cameras and the theory of light, and helps you to put theory into practice and to shoot like a pro. Through informative, succinct text and breathtaking images, you'll learn how best to work with light, whether it's the sun streaming through a window, the glow of a neon sign, or the warm and fragile light of a burning candle.
