sources. The information, activities and assignments provide the essential techniques for creative
and competent photography. The study guides offer a comprehensive and highly structured
learning approach, giving both support and guidance in a logical and sequential manner. Basic
theoretical information is included with an emphasis on practical advice that will maximize the

Brian McLernon. Lighting. Digital Field Guide.

Light. You can’t make a photograph without it in some form or another. Although
light has the ability to give your photographs power and defi nition, do you consistently
consider the quality of light before pressing the shutter button? Sure, you’re
attracted to your subjects for who they are or to sunset and sunrise photos for the
colors of the sky, but what about the quality of the light that defi nes these situations?
Is there some other object or subject you could put into that light that would yield
another great photo? That is the road you will be traveling with this book.
