Overview
Whether you’re heading to Paris or San Francisco,
Patagonia or Yosemite, you need a book that goes beyond the camera
manual to teach you how to take great shots. This guide by pro
photographer John Batdorff will help you conquer the fundamentals
of travel and street photography and capture stunning
pictures.
Batdorff starts with the basics–composition, light, and
exposure–and how to plan and pack the right equipment for
different types of shooting conditions. He also covers all the key
camera features that affect your image. Once you’ve
captured those shots, John takes you step-by-step through an
effective workflow in Lightroom to organize your images and develop
your own personal style.
This guide is for beginning-to-intermediate digital photographers
to understand the basics and bring their own unique artistic
expression to any situation whether you’re taking landscapes,
cityscapes, portraits, or food and drink shots.
Beautifully illustrated with large, compelling photos, this book
teaches you how to take control of your photography to get the
image you want every time you pack up your camera and take it on
the road.
