David Busch has published a number of books which describe specific camera functionality, lighting and other photographic technologies.  This book, for the novice, is a good introduction to lighting techniques.

If you've struggled in your low light photography or just thinking of extending the range of lighting situations that you want to capture in that direction then this books for you. It touches on most of the things one should be aware of when doing low light photography:

 - type and quality of light sources and the challenges they pose to getting the white balance right
 - handheld operation and technology/techniques to help with camera shake
 - motion blur and extensive techniques to avoid or repair it
 - tripod operation and using techniques (such as HDR) that don't necessarily come to mind when thinking low light

Given that it's a "field" book it comes in a nice, pocketable, 3.5"x6" format which should make it easy to bring along. It printed on good quality paper and with good colors. One caveat and the reason for just four stars is that because of the small format I wish the book came with an online resource where one could look at larger size versions of the pictures  in the book. It will make it easier to see some of the smaller features being discussed.

Excellent!

This is a pretty good tutorial, even if you have experience in using speedlights.  I would classify this as mid-level material.

Good beginners guide.  Actually, a good fundamental guide for both setting up a solar system for any application and specifically aquaponics.

Working with and understanding lighting is a skill that is difficult to master.  This book provides the new photographer with "homework" from each chapter to help with the comprehension of the lessons and allows the Photographer to practice with the camera to acquire the desired effects

Not a how-to or recipe book, but much more if you are intent on learning lighting.  Dr. Rand is an excellent professor and writer.  I have not taken any of his courses at Brooks Institute of Photography or at other colleges, but I don't know how he could put the information across more clearly. His information is technical but easy to understand with his diagrams and explainations.  The information is not for a particular setup, but applies to all lighting of any setup once you understand the principles.  By the time you finish reading this book, and try to duplicate his examples, you will understand how to better apply lighting to inhance and present a subject.  The only thing that should be included in a revision would be practical assignments that would demonstrate a principle, but with book in hand and an eye in the view finder, I'm sure you can create your own.  A great book from a real authority!&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Lighting-for-Photography-Techniques-for-Studio-and-Location-Shoots/dp/1584282266/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Lighting for Photography: Techniques for Studio and Location Shoots</a>&nbsp;Just one last thing...read this book first and then read his other book,"Lighting and Photographing Transparent and Translucent Surfaces".&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Lighting-and-Photographing-Transparent-and-Translucent-Surfaces-A-Comprehensive-Guide-to-Photographing-Glass-Water-and-More/dp/1584282444/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Lighting and Photographing Transparent and Translucent Surfaces: A Comprehensive Guide to Photographing Glass, Water, and More</a>

This is a great book for those who are already familiar with professional lighting equipment, but who are looking to amp up their style. Gorgeous photography and great lighting diagrams help lighting students go beyond the simple 2-3 light setups. Also great to see what the author's own studio looks like and what gear he has collected and prefers to work with.

Since I am new to LAMP, this book helped to give me a basic background on the versions this book covers. It helped to make the conversion to the recent versions much more understandable.

Useful in assessing what styles should be considered and what it takes to create them.  Also, the introduction is instrumental in deciding what window treatment should be selected based on certain criteria such as light, view, energy efficiency, etc.  As noted by other reviewers, instructions are too vague to use as the only source of reference unless you have prior expereience in making window treatments.  I would purchase this book again.

I've been installing outdoor lighting for nearly 10 years and I wanted to read this book to see if I could pick up any tips. I have to say that I was not disappointed. It's great and I wish I had had it when I first started. It's easy to read, concise and to the point.

If you are looking to get into the outdoor lighting industry or if you're already doing it but want to get some tips on how to do it better I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book.

I'd recommend a kit with a backdrop and brighter lights. Does not quite have everything to get started.

This book sat on my nightstand for about a month, reading a few chapters a night. I mostly like the way Miles talks about lighting, And how to recognize the lighting you're working with. I also shoot video a least three days out of the week, being a frequent shooter I would come across the techniques he's talking about. For example: One day I was shooting in a wear house and when I turned the camera on, my subjects were silhouetted. I just happened to read this chapter the night before! I knew why this image was appearing And how to work with it, so I grabbed a few shots.
