Photographing Changing Light: A Guide for Landscape Photographers [Hardcover]

Ken Scott (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2004

This is a book about photographing change and movement in a dynamic landscape. Using multiple images Ken Scott demonstrates how the landscape is never static: variations in light, weather conditions, the seasons and the time of day; movement of water, clouds and wind; and changes in photographic approach - lenses, viewpoint, perspective, framing and focus - all have a dramatic impact on how we come to perceive a scene.

This review is from: Photographing Changing Light: A Guide for Landscape Photographers (Hardcover)

I purchased this book because i was interested in photographing light & more particularly without filters. The author demonstrates here with his excellent photos that one can take great TRUE COLOR pictures without modifying with filters. Good job! Some of the pictures are awesome!

But, very unfortunately, Ken talks more about his feelings, experience etc rather than about how the reader can achieve / take similar photos. He never talked about the technical aspects of those great shots! I dont remember seeing one picture having its exposure & shutter settings!!

To put in a nut shell, after reading the book, you will realise it is possible to take great pictures without costly equipment & filters - still retaining the true colour on the atmosphere!! Great! But the question of 'How to take such pictures & its technical consideration' are unanswered & unexplained. A bit of disappointment.
