Shooting in Sh*tty Light: The Top Ten Worst Photography Lighting Situations and How to Conquer Them (Paperback)

Sometimes photographers have to shoot in less than ideal lighting situations. Maybe the wedding is mid-day in the middle of a field, or perhaps the event is in a florescent-lit room. These scenarios can be particularly intimidating for beginning photographers who don't know how to handle the many undesirable lighting situations they may encounter.

In Shooting in Sh*tty Light, professional photographers Lindsay Adler and Erik Valind cover the top ten worst lighting situations and provide a variety of solutions for each. They explain which solutions are most practical and why one option might be preferable over another, examining such problems as extremely low lighting when no flash is allowed, strong backlight, and the light on an overcast day.

 

Unlike other books that focus on natural light or lighting in general, this book addresses a very real need of beginning photographers, answering the question, “What do I do when the lighting is terrible?” Lindsay and Erik candidly show you the tools at your disposal, demonstrating the techniques essential to getting the job done with minimal fuss.

• Shows how to deal with ten of the worst lighting situations, such as harsh midday light, extremely low light, and mixed light.
• Offers real-life examples and practical solutions for handling poor light, such as identifying natural reflectors, bouncing light off a wall, or utilizing flash gels. 
• Features a fun, conversational style to help you conquer the fear of poor lighting and approach any lighting situation with confidence!

有時攝影師必須在不理想的照明環境下拍攝。也許婚禮在中午時分舉行，場地位於一片草地中間，或者活動在一個使用螢光燈的房間舉行。對於不知道如何應對各種不理想照明情況的初學攝影師來說，這些情境可能特別令人緊張。

在《Shooting in Sh*tty Light》一書中，專業攝影師Lindsay Adler和Erik Valind介紹了十種最糟糕的照明情況，並提供了各種解決方案。他們解釋了哪些解決方案最實用，為什麼一個選項可能比另一個更好，並探討了一些問題，例如在不允許使用閃光燈的極低照明情況下，強烈的逆光和陰天的光線。

與其他專注於自然光或照明的書籍不同，這本書解決了初學攝影師的一個非常現實的需求，回答了“照明糟糕時我該怎麼辦？”這個問題。Lindsay和Erik坦率地向您展示了可用的工具，演示了完成工作所必需的技巧，並盡量減少麻煩。

本書介紹了如何應對十種最糟糕的照明情況，例如強烈的中午陽光、極低照明和混合照明。它提供了處理糟糕照明的實際解決方案和真實案例，例如識別自然反射物、將光線反射到牆壁上或使用閃光燈濾光片。書籍以輕鬆對話的風格呈現，幫助您克服對糟糕照明的恐懼，自信地應對任何照明情況！
