Taking the Fear Out Of Low Light Photography

via CreativeLive

Overview

Lots of things worth photographing do not happen under studio lights. You have to learn to work with the light you have if you want to take great photos in low-light situations. Join photographer Jared Polin for a look at what it takes to capture stunning images when the light is challenging.

In this course, you will learn how to read and work with the light in any situation and master the basics of low-light photography. Jared will show you how to troubleshoot on the fly to get proper exposure and the image you are after every time. You will develop the skills needed to walk into any lighting situation and know exactly what to do. Jared will take you out on location and show you just how far you can push your camera's ISO, and you will master techniques for photographing moving subjects, tight spaces, dark venues, and live concerts while managing noise and grain. You will also gain insight into the post-production process that works best for low-light photography.

This hands-on course is an essential experience for beginner photographers who want to confidently approach any low-light situation.
