Blending: Capture a scene with more than one exposure
for dynamic range, using manual HDR technique.
Low Light: Capture a scene using a very high ISO.
Timing
The most famous photographer whose work exemplifies
critical timing is that of Henri Cartier-Bresson. His book
The Decisive Moment shows how the use of timing, along
with point of view, reveals an amazing reality that normally
goes unseen.
We all understand that timing is critical for capturing the
best light, but when you consider the motion of a subject in
sync with the light captured from a unique perspective, the
complexity compounds. The culmination of these four fac-
tors—composition, subject, light and timing—becomes some-
thing unexpected and, as Cartier-Bresson realized, unusual.
His work showed two interesting aspects of timing. First is
Low Light. Never in history has this been possible
before. To capture the Milky Way and the first moon
light on the face of Longs Peak is something only
possible with the aid of highly sensitive modern
sensors combined with phone apps such as Sky
Safari or The Photographer’s Ephemeris to help
calculate when this scene would occur. The falling
meteor was all luck.56 Outdoor Photographer outdoorphotographer.com
