Description
Since the Covid lockdowns ended, people have been living like there’s so much less tomorrow. Life offers us so many possibilities but navigating the gap between where you are and where you want to be is not easy. This is especially true if you want to take on a new challenge or learn a new skill and you feel overwhelmed by all the content out there.
Then the anxiety settles in…
Where do I begin? What content is the best? Who do I ask for guidance?
Solving this on a broad scale is infinitely complex, however, if you’re specifically interested in Night Photography. Look and wonder no more because I’ve spent the last several months distilling all of my expertise into a 270-page book, from the basics to advanced insights, I’ve got you covered like the Milky Way covers the night sky.
This book will help you with the process of navigating in the dark with your DSLR or mirrorless camera. It will give you an understanding of how to approach photographing what you can’t see.
Like daytime photography where you photograph landscapes, nature, portraits, architecture, and more, night photography has a variety as well, albeit in the dark of night. Milky Way astrolandscapes, cities at night, star trail photography, light painting, and a great deal more can be realized after darkness falls.
You will learn about the shades of darkness, “the twilights”, the effects of light pollution on the visibility of the Milky Way, planning tools, how to approach planning an astrolandscape photograph, what to look for in lenses for astrolandscape photography, gear to use at night, calculating the proper shutter speed, using a tracker, Sun & Moon photography, star trails, cityscapes, aurora photography, post-processing software, techniques to maximize the quality of an image, night photography etiquette, infrared night photography, and much more.
Look inside the book for a sample of the content and table of contents.
Night Shades will help anyone interested in night photography, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned star chaser, it can help you navigate and capture the beautiful night with your camera.

Great book on all topics of night photography. I have some experience in photographing the night sky but this book helped me refine my technique and understand why I wasn’t achieving the images I expected. It’s one of those books that’s a “must have”. I am so happy I bought it.
Silvana Della Camera –
That is wonderful to hear! Thank you very much for your feedback!
Tim Langford –
Thanks for writing this book. I have several books on the topic but this one covers so much more. I found it to be easy to understand, even though it is very technical and detailed. Great for beginners and folks like me that have been “fumbling in the dark” as you put it for a long time.
Silvana Della Camera –
Great to hear! Your feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Tom Backman –

Thank you, Tom. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
Hank O’Donnell –
Highly recommended for every photographer’s library! I’ve often thought low light/night time photography was “for the experts” Having this resource gives me hope and a pathway to create stunning photos that I used to think were “above my pay grade.” Well worth the investment. Great book
Silvana Della Camera –
Many thanks for the feedback! It is great to hear!

I highly recommend this book. Silvana is a talented writer with a wealth of information on the topics. It is technical, concise and has allowed me to eliminate a lot of the hand written notes I have taken on the subjects. The illustrations are excellent and aid in the understanding of the details presented. Great job!
