"Excellent training and resource for all kinds of night photography." according to JPK1105. I bought this book to prepare for an Aurora watching trip. But after reading it I learned of a wealth of resources and techniques that can also be applied to taking all kinds of outdoor night photographs. The book is an easy read and beautifully illustrated.. "Four Stars" according to Leonard Wells. Great book. Four Stars Dan O Much more then a beginners guide, but understandable for the non-professional.
