Photographers who want to improve their picture taking need a book that cuts
right to the chaseone that provides the information instantly, without forcing
them to wade through loads of extraneous detail. Thats just what acclaimed
photographer and teacher George Schaub does in this superb introduction to
scenic photography: He outlines only the crucial concepts and principlesfrom
spot metering and fill flash to backlighting and sharpeningand applies them to
real-world shooting scenarios out in the field.
This guide will help photographers:
- Use camera tools such as the highlight warning to check images in the field
and make sure skies and waterfalls are not overexposed
- Reduce noise in deep-forest shadows and in sunset and sunrise photos
- Make flowers stand out with photos that exhibit painterly bokeh
- Use white balance to creatively accentuate autumn colors
- Control shutter to convey movement in streams and rivers
