Digital Capture After Dark (Paperback)

The pitfalls of photographing at night are many. Autofocus and built-in light meters generally fail at night. Long exposures tend to make noisy or blurry photographs. Cameras set to automatic generally trigger the built-in flash in low light conditions, which results in unsatisfying images. Lack of understanding and inappropriate techniques often ruin the dramatic potential of nighttime images.

In Digital Capture After Dark you will learn to overcome these and other obstacles. You will go beyond the many “how-to’s” of capturing digital images at night to the “why-to’s” of long exposure photography; including the importance of how we think and see at night compared to during the day.

Also discussed are hands-on image editing techniques that will help you prepare your images for output. Detailed descriptions cover color balancing, expanding dynamic range, controlling flare, dealing with noise, converting to black-and-white, toning, and much more.

在夜間拍攝時，有許多陷阱需要注意。自動對焦和內建光度計通常在夜間失效。長時間曝光往往會產生噪點或模糊的照片。相機設定為自動模式通常會在低光環境下觸發內建閃光燈，導致影像不滿意。對夜間影像的戲劇潛力缺乏理解和不適當的技巧往往會破壞影像的效果。

在《夜間數位攝影》一書中，您將學習如何克服這些和其他障礙。您將超越許多關於夜間數位攝影的「如何」，深入探討長時間曝光攝影的「為什麼」；包括我們在夜間和白天思考和觀察的重要性。

此外，書中還討論了實用的影像編輯技巧，幫助您準備影像輸出。詳細的描述涵蓋了色彩平衡、擴展動態範圍、控制光斑、處理噪點、轉換為黑白影像、調色等等。
