NIght and low-light photography.......2007-06-09
Received book very promptly, reading my way thru this at the moment, great serivce thx
Good film shooting book........2007-03-22
I liked the book but I was expecting more from the author in covering Digital SLR (DSLR) cameras as well as film. The book has spectacular shots of low/no light photography but all using film. I have a DSLR and I have been learning a lot about photography specifically digital picture taking and wanted to focus on that aspect. Much of the information on the beginning of the book covers equipment and only a small part covers information that could be used for digital cameras.
The book features great shots and I will try to reproduce some of the shots. I also think that is well written and was a joy to read.
Great Book by a Great Photographer and Author.......2007-02-15
Lee Frost is my favorite photographic author. Unlike some other photographers who decide to write a book, Mr. Frost also has writing talent. He never seems to be talking down to his readers, as some seem to do. Instead, his books give you that "I'm no one special, but I'll tell you what I've learned so you don't make the same mistakes" type of feeling. I particularly like the fact that he includes pictures where he made a mistake, something we know every pro does but usually won't admit to. This book gives you everything you need to know to shoot great pictures in low light, using film or digital. He doesn't go into digital much, but the techniques are the same for both, with the exception of having to bracket exposures. Who needs to do that when you can see the results right away? But if you're shooting film, you need this book. The pictures are fantastic and clearly illustrate the author's point, even the mistakes. If you haven't bought a camera yet, read this book first!!! You may decide, given the beauty of film pictures and the availability of excellent film cameras for very little money, that digital photography isn't for you. A great book, either way you decide to go.
Outstanding Lessons in "Difficult" Photography.......2007-01-29
This is a truly excellent how-to on capturing those difficult shots in low light environments, both outdoors and indoors. I am a professional scenic and wildlife photographer and I learned MUCH -- and gained considerable confidence, too -- from reading and studying this book. I read it very slowly, over many months, and tried the techniques and principles Lee Frost describes in my own work as I progressed through the chapters. The results were outstanding, leaving me with far more confidence and skill in managing difficult shots. If anything, the book covers too much, with a long lead-in on types of cameras and lenses, etc., and the final sections on specific subject types tend to be repetitive of the central text, itself. (But, then, we learn by repetition and Mr. Frost is a good teacher.) Still, the CORE information in the book is extremely helpful and valuable. It's on my top shelf for photographic technique and will remain there!
Excellent but dated.......2007-01-19
I found the material very helpful and the concepts straight forward with plenty of example photo. The only downside is that the book is dated and tends to talk about digital photography as some futuristic, yet un-refined, technology.

Customer Reviews:
Many excellent photographs.......2002-01-31
This is a beautiful book with great reproductions of Kenna's excellent black and white photographs taken in the 1980's in low light/night light, as the title says. Slow speeds to pick up the light at night also catch the clouds moving in the sky and convey an eerie feeling. Here you will find some of the photographs that make Kenna's phototography thrilling. Smokestacks in a powerstation in Nottingham with light that seems luminescent; pictures of the sea where water and clouds move; white poles and white steps glimmer in the dark; industrial landscapes are captured spendidly. Although these are landscapes there is a definite feeling of movement, and it is that movement that lures me to these photographs time and again.
Images Like Haiku Poetry.......2001-06-25
Summary: Night Work is filled with haunting scenes of "evocative and mysterious places" that will fill your dreams. Michael Kenna uses the varying degrees of normally occurring darkness, light and contrast that night brings to create shifting moods of abstract beauty. Anyone who has been out walking alone at 3 a.m. will immediately recognize the inherent stillness and loneliness of these moments. Stop and take a deep breath, and the same moment turns into ethereal beauty . . . as these images testify.
Review: Ghostly illusions are the essence of Mr. Kenna's work. Our reactions to abstract shapes and normal objects shift as the shadows lengthen, and greyness pervades the scene. In the absence of people, these scenes also evoke the loneliness and alienation of modern life. Mr. Kenna has a way of showing juxtapositions of nature and man-made objects in a way that puts mere humans in their place, temporarily above ground before the mortal coil is shed.
The best of this work is truly stunning, and there are many superb images here. But the majority of the work just missed for me. Either the degree of fuzziness of the objects was too great, or the images were too faint, or the light source overpowered the scene, or the composition needed cropping. It's too bad because the concept of this work is very strong, and the results are almost right in virtually all cases.
Bill Brandt is the strongest influence on this body of photography, which Mr. Kenna describes as an invitation to "slow down" and to experience like "haiku poetry." I thought that both references were apt.
My favorite works in the book included:
This Tree, Cracow, Poland, 1989;
Above the Abreuvoir, Marly, France, 1992;
Abre Agite, Mont Gros, Nice, France, 1997;
Swings, Catskill Mountains, New York, 1977;
Pont Neuf (merci Brassai), Paris, France, 1992;
Bill Brandt's Snicket, Halifax, Yorkshire, England, 1986;
Beach Path, Hastings, Sussex, England, 1984;
Wind-Swept Beach, Calais, France, 1989;
Docking Poles, Venice, Italy, 1980;
Draped Boats, Whitby, Yorkshire, England, 1986;
The Rouge, Study 95, Dearborn, Michigan, 1995;
Chapel Cross Power Station, Study 2, Dumfries, Scotland, 1985;
Lagoon, Study 1, Blackpool, Lancashire, England, 1992
Sea Stones, Monterrey, California, 1992;
Nocturne, St. Malo, Brittany, France, 1993; and
Log and Plane, Boca Raton, Florida, 1992.
As you can see from these examples, his geographical and subject tastes are broad and varied. His work with power supplies is unusually poetic, making the tall cooling towers look almost like Monet's grain stacks in some ghostly images.
After you examine these long-exposed images, I suggest that you think about which aspects of night are most moving for you. What emotions do you like to have evoked by night? Why? What locales work best for creating those feelings? How can you use night to inspire and inflame your creativity instead, as Mr. Kenna has done?
Sway to the heavenly music of the night!

old technology.......2005-08-19
very disappointing book, a book that was in the distant past a good book but not with todays cameras
Never tried night photos?? You should now........2004-03-27
This is the most helpful book on night photography I have found. I took a class in which all my assignments were to be done at night and so I searched for info. I have Frost's Low Light and Night book, it left me wanting. Low light is not the same as night photography. Sanderson is easy to follow and his night shots are amazing. The exposure chart is what you really need. I have it laminated and in both of my camera bags. This is TRUE photography at night.
Very Pleasantly Surprised.......2004-01-23
My first intention was not to get this book. I enrolled in an independent study class in night photography and was looking for a good book to help me better understand this area of photography. I was all set to buy Lee Frost's "Complete Guide to Night and Low-Light Photography" when I noticed that I could buy that book along with Andrew Sanderson's "Night Photography" for a slight discount on the two. Let me just say that Frost's book has gotten little more than a glance through while I haven't been able to put down this book. If you're like me and are just beginning to learn about night photography, you honestly can't go wrong with this book. It is written extremely well and has all the info you need. One BIG plus is his inclusion of charts to help understand exposure times. I really couldn't say enough about this book. Frost's book may be a good complement to this book, but seriously, if you're looking to get into night photography, start with this book. You will not be disappointed.
Not useful........2003-01-29
There really isn't any information in this book on technique in night photography that is not self-evident. There are a few useful charts on reciprocity failure and adjusting exposure times for smaller apertures based on your light meter readings, but you can easily make these charts yourself. In fact, I wouldn't trust the reciprocity charts because newer films require much less compensation for reciprocity failure than those charts would indicate. Most of the information in the book concerns black and white photography, but there is some info on color negative and slide photography.
The photographs in the book are not very good, either, which isn't encouraging. The picture on the cover is by far the best.
A full third of this book is devoted to processing and printing night photographs, including a fair amount of information on toning. If you don't develop or print your own film, a third of the book is lost on you. And I can't really say if it would be useful to those who do process and print their own work because it has been so long since I have used a darkroom myself.
Good but incomplete.......2002-10-29
The book is very short. I has a good amount of photos, almost all of them are black and white. The book describes some good ideas and techniques for "long exposure" photography. There is also a section on how to take photos of the moon. For those who do their own printing, there is a section about printing as well.
The paper quality is excellent.
I wish the book covers other types of night photography, such as lighting, firework, and so on.

Book Description
To Jakob Tuggener (1904-88) the dazzling nights of the balls in the St. Moritz Palace Hotel were among the most beautiful and fascinating events that life could offer. He submerged himself with his Leica in this world of luxury with even more enthusiasm than he had in the factory world that inspired his famous book Fabrik (1943). Usually unnoticed by the illustrious guests, he captured fleeting moments and details, facial expressions and gestures, which he condensed into cinematographically perceived series of pictures and book layouts. The exhibition on the occasion of the 100th anni-versary of one of the great Swiss photographers is an extravagant feast for the eyes and a worthy occasion for a première: this is the first publication of one of Tuggener`s ball-book layouts.
Book Description
Those who've seen even a fraction of Derek Ridgers' nightlife photos can testify to its cultural significance. Every midnight tribe is here - hippies, punks, ravers, goths, teds, mods and every pretty boy and dirty girl in between, shot in situ in their un-natural habitat. There's also a strong showing from the sexed-up in-your-lens mischief makers that inhabit the demi-monde of fetish, fashion, sex and glamour establishments, mostly in London, but also around the globe. Portraits from the Endless Night focuses on Ridgers' raunchier work, yet includes the glamour vixens and club kids, creating a heady mix of reportage and eroticism comes directly from the subject, not the photographer.

Visionary Photographer.......2000-04-14
"NightWalk" represents a collection of Kenna's earlier -- and best known -- work. These are Black and White, toned photographs that offer a unique vision and perspective of the natural landscape and some industrial sites. The subjects are always about form and light. Most taken at night or the early dawn or dusk reflect the solitude of that hour. This book -- if you can obtain a copy -- is a must for lovers of fine Black and White photography.

A lavish tour of the Surreal Estate of Roller..........2001-07-30
Roller is without a doubt one of the most gifted, imaginative, original artists I have ever encountered in my Art Journeys. Circa 1987 I saw one of his paintings, and I have been a devotee ever since. Most persons will remember him, (and remember him they will if they have ever seen one of his paintings) as the guy who paints monkeys, cats and dogs wearing clothing, and for the flying pickles, cucumbers, cigarettes and other airborne objects. But there is much more than that, much more. --- If you buy this book, you will be able to enter Roller's world at Brenda's Nut Farm, Mrs. Jenkins' house, and all the other "places". And what a world it is. Use the adjectives of your choice. I will not indulge in that here. It has to do with an Asparagus experience a young Roller had when his grandfather showed him that Asparagus...Well you figure it out. It's a strange trip indeed, but one that is worthwhile --- On the surface, at a first glance, his paintings may seems crazy and off the wall, but have a look at the technique, the painstaking attention to detail, the original ideas and, well you'll being to realize more and more that here is an artist who is...Roller --- This book is a perfect showcase. Lavishly illustrated with many beautiful color plates, well printed and well bound. It's the best Roller book there is. The text is for the most part by Roller, because only he can really explain it all. If you are lucky enough to own this book, you are fortunate indeed. It is one of my favorite art books. --- Excuse the sort of disjointed review, but this book is really beyond review, because the art is as well. If you buy, it you'll see what I mean. If you don't, stick to something safe instead.
Review by Walter O. Koenig
LITERATI MIND-BLOW (his paintings speak for themselves).......2000-03-01
STOP AT NOTHING TO FIND THIS ! You'll thank me later! Roller has an unequivocable, God-given(?) talent...those of you who know, really know. With that in mind, and for those of you who have SUPERB taste in literary entertainment and who are grateful to share the same unique appreciation for AMAZING imagination, I recommend this book. (I also personally recommend DRW's ANYTHING you can get your hands on-but this book is special...YOU'LL SEE, I got mine a few years ago in Santa Monica...keep looking, there's one out there for you too).
Wish I could........1999-04-05
DRW has the most distinctive and unique style of any artist of our time...I will never forget the first time I saw his work. I have purchased his art prints and previous books. I would have this one also if I could find it!

Book Description
Night Chicas is a complex, anthropological tour through a damaged landscape of various Guatemalan prostitutes. Tackling the difficult subject of prostitution with scrutiny and sensitivity, Hans Neleman traveled to Guatemalan brothels to photograph the women and girls who make their livings there. The result is over 200 color photographs, giving us a compassionate portrayal in which Neleman deftly fills the gap between documentary and rigorously staged portraiture, and ultimately restores the human value of these marginalized women. Essays by Ana Castillo, George Pitts, A.D. Coleman and Laura Asturias are featured.
Customer Reviews:
Strong images...got soap?.......2006-08-07
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I continue to look through the various images that are both interesting and disturbing. I was able to share the content with my 13 year old daughter as an educating tool. the photography is as even as the subjects that were photographed. I only wish that there was commentary from these sad women. This is not a book about prostitutes that you would desire as much as it is a book that depicts the sad truth about women that sell themselves because their bodies are all they have in the world of any value. still, there is text and it is written well but this book is about the photos...it almost made me want to shower after my first read.
Enlightening, but lacks narrative .......2006-02-20
I liked this book because it shows the humanity and the realism of street workers, but I would have liked more narrative from the workers themselves and this aspect is lacking. These women are photographed, but their voices are silent. So many of them looked interesting, yet readers are robbed of any chance to hear them comment directly about their lives, work or aspirations.
Yes, the photos are gritty, but there's also a sexiness to them. This fact, I think, comes out of the workers' comfortableness with who they are and what they are. A few of the subjects give us their sexy, playful side which is delightful to see when viewing these photos and, then seeing, understanding the real context of their lives.
Honestly, I don't think the subjects in this book are any different from street workers anywhere else. If anything, the photos in this book, point this fact out very clearly.
Essential.......2005-02-19
A seminal photobook on the scale of a "Tulsa" or "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency". Don't be intimidated by the weighty subject matter; this is one of the most rewarding experiences you'll find in any medium.
Brutal beauty with an edge of pain.......2003-10-24
Hans Neleman's Book " Night Chicas" is brutal. Neleman shows us the hard core reality female sex workers in Guatemala have been forced or simply spiraled into. The strength of this photographic body of work is that it appears non judgemental; it is neither condescending nor pitying, in fact there is an incredible dignity in how the women are portrayed. The work just feels honest. There is a huge crescendo of emotion in the portraits, some prostitutes stare into the lens with a spirit that cannot be broken, while others reveal their hurt with urgency. Hans Neleman shows us their stories through intimate revelations; bodies, eyes, scars, environments and possesions. Every detail is essential and is there for us not to pass judgement but to help us understand their lives and their humanity. Night Chicas contains some of the most important and powerful images I have seen in this genre of photography and in fact through his unique approach which is neither documentary nor artifice, he presents us with powerful insightful and visually stunning impressions which to me are simply timeless painterly observations. I could go on endlessly and talk about the beautiful light, the lush colors, and the artistic compositions, but that is not the point of this work yet they are bonuses that only support my belief in this artist's talent.
Night Chicas is Neleman's third book and like his other monographs Moko - Maori Tattoo and his still life work in Silence a must have for every photography enthusiast.
Book Description
Luminous photographs by Brassa reveal the mysterious allure of nocturnal Paris in a new edition of this classic volume. Beautifully presented, Paris by Night is a stunning portrait of nighttime in the City of Light, as captured by its most articulate observer.
Customer Reviews:
the master of the light.......2006-04-27
is a pleasure to learn how to use available light with the craftmanship of Brassai's pictures of Paris by night with all the life of those years !!
Printing process.......2003-12-18
This book was conceived and executed around a specific printing process, heliogravure. The original 1933 edition, if you could find it, which would be quite a feat, would look very much like the Pantheon edition published about a decade ago, and have many of the features of the current edition that some reviewers find objectionable: matte paper, black borders, strange tonality when compared to traditionally printed work. That's why the Pantheon edition, which some of the leading figures in modern printing and photography worked on, was such a landmark, and why the cheaply printed editions between the original and that one were junk -- and gave people a very serious misapprehension of how Brassai wanted his work to look.
Unfortunately, an attempt to reproduce the characteristic look of heliogravure using a more conventional printing process is a pretty tall order. If you don't like the way this edition looks, and you very well may not, see if you can find a library that has a copy of the Pantheon edition and compare them. You'll be amazed that the aspects of this edition's printing that you found objectionable actually make _that_ edition beautiful and unique.
It is a shame that Amazon does not even list the Pantheon edition so that it cannot be searched for as a used book -- and that the current publisher deceptively printed an edition that looks superficially like heliogravure but is not.
Latest edition of Brassai: Paris By Night........2002-02-17
This book is very important. Paris By Night by Brassai is a book that is central in the history of photograhy.It has been a great inspiration for many photograhers (and others).
It is a shame, that this edition is very badly printed (loss of detail).
I am sorry to say, that therefore the book is too exspensive.
I bought the book anyway. Why?
Because I wanted to have it on my shell. To study it. And because it reminds me of the first time, twenty years ago, when I saw some of the pictures from Paris By Night, and found that photograpy could be a great art.
Reproduction quality is an insult to Brassai.......2001-12-16
One only has to compare the nicely reproduced dust jacket photo to the print of it in the book to see the amount of detail that is lost in the rest of these images. Even the thumbails in the back next to the writeups show more detail than the muddied out larger vesions in the book. Brassai's images are so great that even muddied up like this they are worth looking at, but what a shame the publisher didn't do better. Shame, shame, shame.
Quality Issues? Let's be clear........2001-09-20
It is possible that the latest edition has failed to explain why the format for the images is appropriate. I have the 1987 Pantheon edition. The new edition looks like a fairly exact copy of my 1987 copy by Pantheon. That book takes as its model the 1933 first edition. The images are matte because the original and the Pantheon are heliogravure prints, a matte process. (It is also likely that Brassai's original prints lack the hi-gloss sheen common to modern magazine printing and plastic-coated photographic paper. I have nothing but pity for those who cannot appreciate such a process and yearn for something like today's glossy magazines.) The quarter-inch gloss frame arond the images is a feature of the Panthon edition, as well (and the '33?). This new book looks (on superficial viewing) like a faithful effort on the part of the publisher. Now- someone offer an A to B comparrison, please.
Book Description
Night photography is an exciting challenge. All the normal rules of daylight photography are broken, and the extreme contrasts in light levels allow photographers to create dramatic and evocative images. Photography at Night is more than just a standard photography manual. It is also a valuable teaching tool, filled with exercises that put theory into practice. Covering technical aspects of both conventional and digital cameras, readers will find hands-on lessons on the practical and aesthetic aspects of low-light photography. They'll also discover expert guidance on how to critique their results as well as improve their work in the future. This is the definitive sourcebook for photographers who want to improve their low-light skills.
Customer Reviews:
Worst photography book I've seen in 40 years........2007-01-08
I purchased at least 100 photography books during the past 40 years. This book is in a class all by itself. While the cover of this book is very eye-catching and promising, the contents of the book are very amateurish: the photographs are terrible, and you won't learn much from this book. I can't believe this well known publisher published this book! I returned it to the store where I purchased it and got a refund.
A different view of the night.......2005-08-09
Richard Newman's Photography at Night is more for inspiration and motivation than it is technical. Unlike several other night photography books, it shows that interesting pictures can be made at night with black, and that there's more to shoot at night than skylines and lighted architectural studies.
By far the most important part of the book is Chapter 4, the Assignment section. It inpsires you to get out into the field or street and try various techiques and subjects such as street photography, fire, high contrast using ortho film, silhouettes and strong backlighting, and others. The portfolio section at the front also is interesting to study.
This book would be an excellent companion volumn to one of the several night photography introductions on the market. "The Complete Guide to Night & Low Light Photography" by Lee Frost and "Capturing the Night with Your Camera" are two excellent works that present the nuts and bolts of night photography in great detail. Not much about digital in either, however, if you are looking for something that goes into that.
Uninspiring pictures and inadequate instructions.......2005-02-06
One thing I learned after owning a few photography books which I never fully read after a quick skim-through, was that one should always check out the sample photos in a photography book before buying it.
When I first saw the title of this book, "Photography at Night," I was excited, because my night photography had always been plain and boring. But as I sat down by the café and started reading the book, I was so glad that I hadn't just bought it out of sheer excitement.
I have two major issues with this book: first and foremost, the pictures in the book are just not good. I'm sorry maybe I don't have the proper "artistic" eye, but the pictures in this book look poor-quality and *plain and boring* to me. Many of them are amateurish-looking (the picture on p.86 looks just like one taken by my 8-year-old niece!), while others are blurry or have barely visible subject matters (e.g., pp.6-7 and p.92, among many others). If you are thinking of buying this book, I recommend you flip through it first (esp. chapter one "Professional Portfolios") to see if you agree with the author's artistic taste or not. For me, these are exactly the pictures I don't want to take. As a photographer, I want to take night photos that are pleasing to look at and don't strain the audience's eyes or make them nauseous.
Second, which is an issue particular to my needs, this book is almost all about film photography. A lot of attention is devoted to selecting the different film types. If you are a film shooter, chapter 3 could be of value to you. For digital shooters, you'll only find four pages of superficial coverage (e.g., "how a digital camera works").
The saving grace of the book is chapter 4, which gives the reader a few specific assignments along with advice on how to look for things to photograph as well as how to meter properly or how to work with depth of field. As I read through the assignments I found them quite interesting, so I jotted down two or three of them which I thought would be worth doing. For me, the book would have been worth buying if the author had expanded on the materials in this chapter and made the book more instructional rather than showcasing "inspirational portfolios" (from the back cover) that don't necessarily inspire the reader.
Of course, given that I'm not, nor will I ever be, a professional artist, let alone a successful one, my harsh criticism of the book only reflects my learning needs as an amateur photographer. I know I like photos that are sharp-looking with an easy-to-understand vision or message, whether it's a shot of the Eifel Tower against a moon-lit night sky or a picture of tulips in the suburbs of Amsterdam. You may be the type of artistic person who appreciates the "vision" in this book. In that case, you may like this book.
Somewhat useful book of pictures and ideas..........2004-02-16
As a primer on the technical aspects of night photography, this book is short on details and rather disorganized.
The chapter on equipment and the properties of different B&W developers is useful. There are detailed sequences of pictures demonstrating the effects of different levels of exposure and development on various kinds of film. Sometimes, pictures are worth a thousand words.
The book falls short when connecting the pictures and instructions. Metering is described as being important, but no information on how to meter properly is provided. Furthermore, there is no information on reciprocity failure for different films, other than a vague suggestion about doubling exposure time. This leaves the reader wondering exactly how long exposure time should be. The digital camera section is also disappointingly short, mostly containing information on how digital cameras work.
This book's strength is in its photos. The first 40 pages consists of portfolios from different photographers. Detailed captions describe the circumstances of each photo shoot and how the photo was exposed. Finally, some information that could really help amateurs!
The last section is a list of assignments. At last, the author provides detailed information on how to meter a scene, how to determine exposure, and how to pick a camera angle for shooting. Why wasn't this information provided earlier in the book?
In conclusion, buy this book for the great photos, not for the instructions included.
