Book Description

May 2002
What makes a nature photograph beautiful? It may surprise you, but the most crucial element is "you," the photographer. Your skills give each picture that intangible quality that distinguishes a great from an ordinary photo. When you take your camera in hand and head outdoors, have the knowledge you need to shoot a spectacular image. From composition (observing the landscape, finding the viewpoint, isolating the subject) to technical considerations (selecting a lens, choosing a shutter speed, expressing movement), you'll discover dozens of photographic tips and tricks here, along with dozens of inspirational examples. Make the most of light--including shadows--and color (especially at sunset). Work in the city, focusing on buildings, or in the deepest woods. Express the season, overcome problems such as bad weather and mist, and pinpoint the best opportunities for success!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Field Guide To Landscape Photography, January 9, 2007
This review is from: A Field Guide to Landscape Photography (Paperback)
Peter Watson does a great job of explaining how you visualize an image but his explanation of how he uses filters to warm up the scene or change the mood with a particular filter is worth the price of the book. I personally am beginning to pay attention to the techniques used by European and especially English photographer. It is a different prospective and one you can apply to your on style of landscape photography. Peters influence on how I now view a scene and how I handle the light I am dealt has given me many more option to make better images.
