Book description
Now that you’ve bought that amazing new DSLR, you need a
book that goes beyond the camera manual to capture stunning images.
For photographers interested in landscape photography, this guide
will help you conquer the fundamentals and take amazing outdoor
shots.
Pro photographer Rob Sheppard starts with the
basics–composition, light, and perspective–and
describes how to connect with your scene. He covers all the key
camera features that affect your image, including how changing
focal lengths alters your perspective and the aperture’s
direct correlation with depth of field. Once you’ve captured
those shots, Rob takes you through simple post-processing steps in
Lightroom, Photoshop, and Photoshop Elements.
This guide is for beginning-to-intermediate digital photographers
to understand the basics and bring their own unique artistic
expression to landscapes and outdoor shooting. Beautifully
illustrated with large and compelling photos, this book teaches you
how to take control of your photography to get the image you want
every time you pick up the camera.
