 The definitive book on B&W film based Night Photography March 15, 2008
Andrew Sanderson's book is the definitive book on film based B&W night photography. It is not for those interested in digital or color night photography, and it is not for those looking to photograph Christmas lights, fireworks, or neon signs. If you are looking for tips on that type of subject matter, pretty much any of the other books are better suited. (Frost et al)
Now, if you are still reading, Sanderson does an admirable job presenting his material and explaining the relationship between exposure development and printing, the essence of all B&W photography. The book is full of useful technical information, and is full of numerous and inspiring examples of the points he makes in the text.
If you are interested in Night Photography, you should also visit www.thenocturnes.com, a website with great authority on the subject, and examples of many of the best known night photographers working today.

 Never tried night photos?? You should now. March 27, 2004

This is the most helpful book on night photography I have found. I took a class in which all my assignments were to be done at night and so I searched for info. I have Frost's Low Light and Night book, it left me wanting. Low light is not the same as night photography. Sanderson is easy to follow and his night shots are amazing. The exposure chart is what you really need. I have it laminated and in both of my camera bags. This is TRUE photography at night.

My first intention was not to get this book. I enrolled in an independent study class in night photography and was looking for a good book to help me better understand this area of photography. I was all set to buy Lee Frost's "Complete Guide to Night and Low-Light Photography" when I noticed that I could buy that book along with Andrew Sanderson's "Night Photography" for a slight discount on the two. Let me just say that Frost's book has gotten little more than a glance through while I haven't been able to put down this book. If you're like me and are just beginning to learn about night photography, you honestly can't go wrong with this book. It is written extremely well and has all the info you need. One BIG plus is his inclusion of charts to help understand exposure times. I really couldn't say enough about this book. Frost's book may be a good complement to this book, but seriously, if you're looking to get into night photography, start with this book. You will not be disappointed.
Not useful. January 29, 2003

There really isn't any information in this book on technique in night photography that is not self-evident. There are a few useful charts on reciprocity failure and adjusting exposure times for smaller apertures based on your light meter readings, but you can easily make these charts yourself. In fact, I wouldn't trust the reciprocity charts because newer films require much less compensation for reciprocity failure than those charts would indicate. Most of the information in the book concerns black and white photography, but there is some info on color negative and slide photography.The photographs in the book are not very good, either, which isn't encouraging. The picture on the cover is by far the best. A full third of this book is devoted to processing and printing night photographs, including a fair amount of information on toning. If you don't develop or print your own film, a third of the book is lost on you. And I can't really say if it would be useful to those who do process and print their own work because it has been so long since I have used a darkroom myself.
