GET THIS TODAY AND YOU'LL SHOOT LIKE NEVER BEFORE!!

I must say, this is one of the best books I have ever read on photography! This book completely changed my views on the nightlife and low light subjects. Lee Frost is a great teacher, never missing a detail and explaining everything with expert precision, wonderfull language and slight humor that you will appreciate. After about half of the book I was outside shooting after dusk and before sunrise. Most importantly, Lee Frost inspires and encorages you like no one else! I loved it. A picture of mine taken with his techniques was an honorable mention in a contest with over 10,000 entries. If you want to give your pictures a new edge and new look, buy this book t.o.d.a.y. !!!

Excellent Book!

Man was this book ever helpful to me! I bought this book because I went to Europe almost 2 years ago and came back and developed rolls that didn't produce a single usable picture. I was planning another trip to correct my photo mistakes (I wanted the Eiffel Tower and London's Tower Bridge at night). I bought the book, read it and applied the SIMPLE steps during my last Euopean trip (aug 00). Not only did each of my night rolls (24 exp) produce at least 23 usuable pics, but 3/4 of them are professional/identical to the examples in the book. I was also able to help my friend take great night shots as well. BUY THIS BOOK and use that 'AP mode' as he said! Both will help you.

If you own a camera, buy this book.

Lee Frost gives detailed descriptions of how to create unforgettable photographs in low light conditions. The accompanying photographs show just what can be done in low light, and each picture gives a detailed explanation of how it was created. He gives full explanations of how every feature of a camera can be manipulated to create different effects in such clear language that a beginner can understand yet the techniques and tips are just as useful for the professional. This book will open your eyes to new ideas and techniques.

A must read if your having trouble photography at night!

I picked up photography approx. 2 years ago. I have always had trouble getting the right exposure for my night shots. After reading Lee Frost's book, my pictures have improved tremendously. Lee covers everything, from shooting indoor to outdoor. It's well worth the money. Stop wasting film and get this book!
