Making photographs in the day's best light is wonderful. For one thing, you've got a full range of exposure settings to work from. When it comes to hours just before dawn and past sunset though, many a photographer won't even try. The camera goes in the bag. If it doesn't, a strobe is stuck atop and the photographer just fires away. Or - ISO gets bumped to a six-digit figure. Either way, the results are frequently disappointing.

Throughout this valuable course you'll be introduced to and practice alternative techniques for producing photographs with impact, using a minimum of light. In fact, you'll become so good at doing so; you might never venture into full sunlight with your camera again!

What you will need:

• Digital or film 35mm camera with manual settings capability and hot-shoe (Note: If using film, you will need access to a scanner to digitize your images for sending).
• Compact electronic flash unit with manual mode capability.
• Cable for using off-camera flash unit.
• Zoom or prime lens with an aperture setting of f2.8 or larger.
• Study tripod
• As a bonus to students shooting RAW files and using Adobe Lightroom or Camera Raw, techniques will be covered to improve RAW processing of underexposed images.
