Embrace the dark and conquer landscape photography at night!

In the past, landscape photography largely ended when the last light of dusk faded from the sky. Today its only beginning. The latest digital cameras have made it much easier to create images of the landscape at night that film and early digital photographers could only dream of. Equipped with off-the-shelf cameras, more and more photographers are venturing into the night, far beyond the comforting glow of city lights, and returning with spectacular images of places both familiar and unknown that are unlike anything seen before.

Dusk to Dawn: A Guide to Landscape Photography at Night, 2nd Edition, is your guide to this new photographic world. In it, photographer Glenn Randallauthor of the bestselling The Art, Science, and Craft of Great Landscape Photographyteaches you how to plan, shoot, and process professional-quality images of the Milky Way, the aurora, lunar eclipses, meteor showers, comets, star trails, and landscapes lit solely by moonlight.

In this fully revised and updated second edition, Randall goes deeper into todays technology that allows for great landscape photography at night: from mirrorless cameras that now truly dominate the market (and require a different approach to focusing) to the apps photographers need to know to best prepare for a successful shoot (Photo Pills, Photo Ephemeris Web). This edition has also been updated with dozens of new photographs from the author, as well as new sections on photographing comets, the zodiacal light, and noctilucent coulds.

Throughout the book, Randall emphasizes ways to integrate beautiful depictions of the night sky with equally compelling renditions of the land below it to create complete landscape images that evoke a sense of placeand a sense of wonder. Equipped with the knowledge in this book, you will be able to create your own nocturnal masterpieces.
