Content

The mountain to the right is lighting the foreground in the above panorama. I'm using an advance form of Low Level Lighting, called Reflection Projection (RP), where I light up a large natural object, just outside of my camera view, and use the objects reflected light to illuminate or project onto the foreground of my nightscape.

In this eBook update you'll learn the advantages of RP lighting and see two more examples on how to do it.

PDF: Be sure to download (below) and view my latest Version 2.0 eBook update on Reflection Projection.

NOTE: My patrons can expect to see many more posts over the next few months, as I continue to "serialize" updates to my original, version 1.1 "Milky Way NightScapes" eBook. These advance updates will become available exclusively to my patrons, page-by-page, until my new version 2.0 eBook is completed and published in March 2024.
