Wholesale Photography: Night Sky

Learn to shoot the night sky like a pro. Photograph the full moon or the shimmering glow of a meteor streaking across the sky. Peer more deeply into our galaxy--aided by the powerful lens of your camera, which can sense stars too far away for the human eye to see. In this handbook, award-winning photographers Jennifer Wu and James Martin share their tips for taking stunning photographs in the dark and overcoming the unique issue--such as equipment limitations and cold--that confront nighttime photographers. Wu reveals her innovative methods for: • Photographing star trails, moon phases, and twilight • Capturing celestial phenomena such as auroras, noctilucent clouds, and meteors • Exploring urban-lit nights or glowing volcanoes • Light-painting and controlling unwanted light • Defining the subject, framing, and foreground • Managing exposure, color temperature, and focus
