In the past, landscape photography largely ended when the last light of dusk faded from the sky. Today it’s only beginning. The latest digital cameras have made it easy 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 is your guide to this new photographic world. In it, photographer Glenn Randall—author of the bestselling The Art, Science, and Craft of Great Landscape Photography—teaches you how to plan, shoot, and process professional-quality images of the Milky Way, the aurora, lunar eclipses, meteor showers, star trails, and landscapes lit solely by moonlight. 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 place—and a sense of wonder. Equipped with the knowledge in this book, readers will be prepared to create their own nocturnal masterpieces.

This is an all-inclusive book on night photography covering every topic from preparation and planning through essential gear and techniques to processing. It focuses on a variety of subjects in astrophotography, such as photographing the galactic core of the Milky Way, star trails, the aurora, meteor showers, and lunar eclipses. There is incredible detail disclosing not only the “how to,” but “why” one should shoot in these ways. The icing on top of all of this practical detail are the plethora of awesome photos interspersed throughout the book that show what is possible with practice and determination in this exciting realm of photography. Highly recommended for both the beginner and more advanced night photographer. There is so much to be learned from this well-written work.

I’m enthralled. I read this author‘s article on astrophotography in Outdoor Photographer magazine and … I understood his direct instructions! So I found myself out in the middle of West Texas, set everything up … and it worked! Definitely my reason to buy the book and I can’t put it down.
