From landscapes, seascapes, and desert scenes to city views, country settings, and historic sites, this book goes beyond natural vistas to offer an all-inclusive range of the subjects people want to photograph outdoors. The author provides simple, straight forward lessons, highlighted by before-and-after sequences that pair ordinary photos with more compelling shots for the same scenes, enabling readers to compare different perspectives, from closeup to panoramic. Extended captions tell the stories behind the photos and describe the creative problem-solving process that goes into making beautiful scenic pictures, giving tips to benefit both beginners and experienced photographers.
