The Lucky Falcon is a sci-fi noir thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page. In the year 2204, the primary provocateur of exploration into the uncharted regions of the depths of space is crime, itself. Deep space freight haulers, slave trade, arms dealers and everything in between. Sure, there are still legitimate citizens out there, whom obey The King's Law, but you won't find many on The Rack. An interstellar checkpoint station the size of Los Angeles. With a population of nearly five million perpetual residents, crime runs nearly unabated throughout the city. In an attempt to alleviate this, an enigmatic organization known only as The Man instituted the Rack Security Force. The R.S.F. are a collection of the fiercest, most distinguished prior police officers in the known universe, hand selected from their previous jurisdictions by The Man themselves. Join veteran agent Loak Delaine, and his brand new partner, as the rookie carries The Emerald Shield of the R.S.F. for the first night in his life. It will be a white knuckled night, filled with greed, grit, bullets and blood. The hunt for a long fallen Prince begins now.

Have you ever wondered if you need to use a flash in sunlight? What the best lighting is for a macro shot? How long your exposure should be in low lighting? If you have, this book is for you! Lighting affects composition, focus, exposure decisions, and pretty much everything about taking a picture. Further, the mood of the photograph is totally dependent on the lighting - and can make or break the image. It is also one of the hardest things for a budding photographer to grasp. The existing lighting books tend to require expensive equipment and extensive knowledge on how to light photos. For those who aren't at that level yet, this guide shows how to take shots in certain settings and times, such as lighting for specific seasons, back-lighting, water lighting, available light at mid-day, and more. Loaded with photos, tips, tricks, and inspiration, you can't help but walk away from this book with the critical knowledge you need to know to take the perfect picture.

Focus On Lighting Photos

Photographic lighting is a topic that will never go out of style, no matter how sophisticated cameras and other technology get. Even with the most high-tech gear, photographers still need to put a lot of thought and vision into lighting their photographs in order to get great results. Mastering this key skill has the power to dramatically and quickly improve your photographs as well as your efficiency. Light—Science & Magic provides you with a comprehensive theory of the nature and principles of light, with examples and instructions for practical application. Featuring photographs, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions, this book speaks to photographers of varying levels. It provides invaluable information on how to light the most difficult subjects, such as surfaces, metal, glass, liquids, extremes (black-on-black and white-on-white), and portraits. This new edition includes: • Expanded chapters on portraiture and lighting equipment • Chapters on necessary equipment when working on location versus in the studio • An updated appendix of reliable photo gear sources • Over 100 new photographs and informational sidebars • Updated information about advances in flash equipment, LED panels, and fluorescent lights Lighting styles will evolve, but the science of light will always remain the same. Once photographers understand the basic physics of lighting (without having to become physicists), they can apply that knowledge to a broad range of photographic styles.
