The Complete Guide to Light and Lighting in Digital Photography

by Michael Freeman

Digital photography provides almost total control over the capture and manipulation of light. Not just more so than film, but in a different league altogether. This makes a comprehensive guide to all the techniques and possibilities a necessity – not just to help digital photographers through the minefield of white balance, clipped highlights and dynamic range, but so that they can get the most out of any situation, tuning the effects of lighting for high–performance photography that realizes their creative needs.
