More Description Creative Landscape Photography I is the first in a series of books with the aim of enabling you to develop your photographic aesthetics so you leave knowing what makes a good photograph and why. Award winning New Zealand based photographers, Mike Langford and Jackie Ranken teaches their 'visual language' and encourages you to develop your own. They'll help you to improve your camera skills and craft so you can get the most from your digital SLR camera. With this book, you will now have Mike & Jackie's tips and ideas on creative photography at your fingertips.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK You have great ideas and you have a camera with incredible capabilities. All you need to do is translate your ideas into photographs. But which settings create which effects? Which features are best in which situations? What choices do professional photographers make?
If you've ever joined them on a Creative Photography Workshop or Photo Safari, you'll know some of the answers already. Now you have it all in a handy Guide.
As professional photographers working in the field every day, they want to share their knowledge, ideas and tips for getting the best out of landscape photography.
- Starting with the Quick Guide, they familiarize you with the digital SLR and explain the basics of controlling your camera in the creative modes of Manual 'M', Aperture priority 'Av' and Shutter priority 'Tv'.
- Next comes 'the Creative Idea'. Learn how to capture what you see using a combination of useful features, simple settings and creative tips. With a little knowledge, your ideas can be translated into the creative photographs you visualize. What's more, you can do it all 'in camera' - not just later in post-production.
- Now you're in the field. Using thirty of their own photographs taken on their Photographic Workshops, they reveal the ideas they had that day - what inspired them to take each photograph, the camera settings they used and why. These unique field stories all finish with their own personal tips for different styles of landscape photography.
- Tech Notes. At the back of the Guide they delve into the technical details of creative landscape photography. Refer to this as you go through the book and you'll soon understand all the photographic terms. They've kept it simple and if something isn't mentioned in this section, it's because they don't use it.
