This is a guide to talking nature & landscape photographs by one of the top landscape photographers in North America - John Shaw. Published in 1994 by Amphoto, it discusses techniques of:
- equipment and film: cameras, film, tripods and more
- lenses: wide angle, normal, short telephoto, telephoto, tilt-shift lenses
- how to read and evaluate natural lighting
- reading the landscape and composing: horizontal vs. vertical, foregrounds, 'aerial views'
- problems & solutions: sunrise & sunset, preventing lens flare, tilting horizons, white skies
- on location: themes, concentrating on one area, timing is everything, deciding when to go
So much to learn in John Shaw's teaching - all ideas, perspective and approaches that will change the quality of your imagery.
