Understanding lighting, natural and artificial, indoors and out, is key to the photographer's art. This comprehensive guide is full of techniques, information and guidance on making use of the light in all situations. Lighting can often be the making or breaking of a photograph--many photographers struggle to capture color and tone as they would like. This essential guide provides practical techniques that will help the photographer understand how to make the best lighting choices in a wide range of situations. Topics covered include landscape, nature, macro, urban, portraiture (both inside and out), interior and studio photography.
If you are an experienced photographer, this book may be of little use to you as it covers a lot of things which are covered in other books and you may already just know from experience. However, I found it to be very helpful when I was starting out. At the very least helped me to articulate issues with lighting. So if you are trying to get past 'beginner' and have a grasp on composition but are still having trouble, give this book a read.

Very well written and quite easy to follow. I was pleased with the book and gained a lot from it in relation to lighting technique.
