Night & Low-Light Photography Lee Frost At one time, low light photography was synonymous with speed forcing techniques, processing film overnight in the fridge, sensitizing in mercury vapour etc. None of that here, Lee Frost is of the opinion that light is necessary to take pictures, and the techniques are purely confined to what can be obtained with conventional films, cameras and processing. A wide variety of subjects are included, full colour throughout, 250 illustrations. Good value for money. Order Code: 44 941 Price: £14.99 |
