The night sky may be the most awe-inspiring spectacle that any of us will ever see. It can, however, be difficult to capture in a photograph, as it requires specialized techniques that are rarely used when shooting images during the day.
Grant Collier sheds light on how to capture these otherworldly images by sharing secrets he has learned over the past 21 years. He explains how to take photos of the Milky Way, northern lights, meteors, eclipses, lightning, and much more.
Grant begins by reviewing equipment and supplies that are helpful when photographing at night. He then discusses many software programs, web sites, and mobile apps that will help you plan your shots. Finally, he offers extensive advice on how to capture and process images at night. He goes beyond the basics and teaches how to blend multiple exposures and create huge stitched images to capture incredibly detailed photos that you never before thought possible!
The 3rd edition has been completely updated for 2024. It includes information on the best new camera gear and on improved noise reduction and sharpening software. There are many other small updates throughout the rest of the book, and there are a few new photos. However, since the 2nd edition was released less than 4 years earlier, it's not a huge update from that edition. If you own the 1st edition, it is a very substantial update from that book.
Topics covered in this book include:
- How to photograph the Milky Way, northern lights, eclipses, meteors, lightning, air glow, lava, and more!
- What moon phases to shoot under.
- Capturing star trails using very long exposures or by combining many shorter exposures.
- Techniques for capturing detail in the foreground with and without a flashlight.
- Stitching huge images that can be printed very large.
- Stacking and blending multiple exposures to increase detail and reduce noise.
- Focus stacking to increase depth of field.
- Using an equatorial mount (or star tracker).
- Basic and advanced techniques for post-processing images in Lightroom and Photoshop, including reducing noise, minimizing light pollution, increasing star size, and more.
