This is a no-nonsense, bare bones tutorial on nighttime photography. It covers everything from planning, safety, and equipment considerations to finding a suitable place for night photography, the science and mathematics behind proper exposure and everything else you need to take stunning photographs at night.

NOTE: This tutorial does NOT cover post-processing using computer software - it is a tutorial on the photography side of creating photographs of the night sky and landscapes under nighttime conditions.

 The following are a few words just to tell you a little about myself and my background. 

My name is Miguel Denyer, but my friends call me "Mig" or "Mike". I am a British expat and a veteran of the UK armed forces, and I live in the Metro Detroit area of Michigan which, is where I've lived for the past 21 years.

My previous professional endeavors include close protection and professional investigator which is where I learned most of my skills with a camera. 

I have since retired from that line of work and am now medically retired so nature photography is how I pass the time.

I have always had a love of nature and a keen eye for photography, so I decided to put what I have learned into a tutorial so that I can pass on my knowledge to others.

 I have published books in the past, but this is the first time that I have published a tutorial on photography, so I hope you enjoy it and that it proves useful to you.
