Introduction xiiiwill cover topics not included in the fi rst edition, including how
to deal with white balance, digital noise, and understanding and
using the histogram. In addition to describing how these affect
digital capture under low-light conditions, we’ll show you how
to overcome these problems to produce the highest possible
quality images, including the use of RAW capture.
As before, the images will be case-study based, showing photo-
graphs made for clients and in real-world assignments, when the
shot had to be right the fi rst time. Often this means overcoming
all kinds of logistical, weather-related, and physical problems,
notwithstanding the photographic challenges of making images
under conditions when most people would just give up. That’s
when Joe and Barry dig in and get the shot. This book tells the
story of many such assignments.
