A guide to landscape photography covers such topics as lenses, camera settings, light, composition, black-and-white photography, panoramic photos, and themes.
Scenic photography is a perennially popular subject—and no one is better than Rob Sheppard, founding editor of Outdoor Photographer, to help photographers master the art of shooting landscapes.
In the tradition of Sheppard’s bestselling The Magic of Digital Nature Photography, this new book covers everything from cameras and lenses to tools and techniques, all interpreted from the landscape photographer’s perspective. It gives details on working with skies, water, light, and other crucial elements, and puts the information together in an inspiring and accessible way. Several chapters hone in on particular types of landscape, while a variety of professionals weigh in with their own point of view on the topic.
