The photos in this book are quite nice; they serve as examples of why photographers shouldn't put away their camera when light levels are low. Frost presents a handful of useful pointers on shooting particular kinds of subjects, like fireworks or the moon, but mostly the advice is: use a tripod, be a little bit smart about interpreting your camera's meter, and bracket, bracket, bracket.

Quite a lot of the book is dedicated to details that only matter if you are shooting film, so there wasn't as much here for me as I had hoped.
