Our three previous photography guides have covered composition, exposure and colour now it's time to look at the element which is the key influence for all three aspects. As a photographer, you need to learn to love light, appreciate its endless subtleties and try to make the most of its mood swings. Soon you'll feel your heart race a little faster as the black clouds of a passing storm tear apart and rich, golden light burns through to transform even the most mundane scene (just don't forget to carry your camera at all times. you'll kick yourself if you miss capturing such an event). Don't pull your hair out if the light isn't "right" though. You just need to learn a few tricks that can help you rescue the situation , this book will show you them. We'll give you ideas for taming harsh light, show you how to make the most of falling light levels and how to use flash in understated ways. We don't cover studio lighting in this book that will come later. Instead, we focus on natural light, how to capture it, how to enhance and how to use it in great new ways.
