Photographing landscapes under moonlight can be tricky, there’s no doubt about it. You’re fumbling around in the dark trying to get everything ready to take the shot, and your exposures can often be so long that you might only get one or two chances to actually capture the scene you want. In this video, Karl Taylor shows us how we can meter a moonlit night scene to figure out a good exposure quickly and then how to turn that into the exposure we really want....

Sometimes it can be great to flex your skills and show off your lighting prowess, but we can often run into the danger of the image being more about the lighting technique rather than the look of the final image itself. This is something I always try and hammer home when I’m teaching new techniques. Is there anybody here old enough to remember the horrendous HDR portraits of the early 2000s?...
