Natural Night: The Gentle Touch of Starlight on the Landscape
The largest obstacle in night photography is this: It’s dark outside.
We can push the limits of modern cameras to reveal the beauty of the night skies. But as amazing as those capabilities are, the foreground of the image is almost always a challenge. While solutions for this problem exist, many of them result in a foreground that doesn’t appear in a photograph the way our eyes see it in person.
Natural light painting, blends, exposure, moon phases—all of them can play a role in creating a natural look to your night images. Join Chris Nicholson as he weaves a way through these options and more, showing multiple paths toward creating foregrounds that maintain a sense of apparent realism.
