About Collier's Guide To Night Photography In The Great
Product Description 27% Off (normally $29.95) The night sky may be the most awe-inspiring spectacle that any of us will ever see. It can, however, be difficult to capture in a photograph, as it requires specialized techniques that are rarely used when shooting images during the day. Renowned photographer Grant Collier sheds light on how to capture these otherworldly images by sharing secrets he has learned over the past 14 years. He explains how to take photos of the Milky Way, northern lights, meteors, eclipses, lightning, and much more. Grant begins by reviewing equipment and supplies that are helpful when photographing at night. He then discusses many software programs, web sites, and mobile apps that will help you plan your shots. Finally, he offers extensive advice on how to capture and process images at night. He goes beyond the basics and teaches how to blend multiple exposures and create huge stitched images to capture incredibly detailed photos that you never before thought possible! Some of the topics covered include: - How to photograph the Milky Way, northern lights, eclipses, meteors, lightning, air glow, lava, and more! - What moon phases to shoot under. - Light painting the foreground and recommended flashlights. - Capturing star trails with both film and digital cameras. - Creating comet-like star trails. - Stitching huge images that can be printed very large. - Stacking images and blending multiple exposures to increase detail. - Focus stacking to increase depth of field. - Using an equatorial mount (or star tracker). - Enlarging star size to bring out constellations. - Minimizing noise, light pollution, and elongated stars in post-processing. Many of these techniques can not be found in other night photography books, which tend to focus mainly on the basics. Review "Collier s Guide to Night Photography" covers more topics and goes into more depth than other books on the same subjects...It is the night photography book from which I have learned the most. --QT Luong, author of "Treasured Lands" and first to photograph all 59 U.S. national parks. An extraordinary and highly 'user friendly' instruction manual, "Collier's Guide to Night Photography in the Great Outdoors" should be considered a 'must read' by anyone wanting to take photographs of night sky phenomena. --Midwest Book Review I've been contemplating writing my own e-book on this very topic for awhile now; however, I feel like there's no way I could have done a better job than Grant has in this tremendous guide. It is an absolute slam dunk. --Matt Payne, photographer and host of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen About the Author Grant Collier has been working as a professional photographer since 1996, and he began taking photos at night in 2003. Grant has photographed nearly every conceivable phenomenon at night multiple times, including solar and lunar eclipses, meteors, lava, moonbows, lightning, the northern lights, forest fires, the Milky Way, planets, constellations, star trails, the three stages of twilight, and more. As a result, the advice in this book comes from first-hand knowledge that has been thoroughly tested in the field. Grant produces the Starry Nights Wall Calendar, which has become the #1 bestselling wall calendar on Amazon for several weeks in each of its first two years. Grant produces three additional wall calendars and is the author of eleven books, including Moab, Utah by Day & Night and the bestselling Arches National Park by Day & Night. His images have appeared on several magazine covers, and his work has been featured in numerous other media outlets, including CNN.com, NBC, CBS, PBS, Los Angeles Times, Denver Post, and the cover of the Rocky Mountain News.
