The Complete Guide to Outdoor Photography - Hardcover

How many times have you got your photos back from the processors to discover that the stunning landscape that literally took your breath away now looks insignificant and lifeless? Or that the wild butterfly you stalked so patiently flew off just as you pressed the shutter? Containing over 200 colour photographs, The Complete Guide to Outdoor Photography will take you through everything you need to know to avoid this happening, from technical considerations such as choosing film for particular lighting or climatic conditions, to capturing those elusive shots that sum up the essence of a place. From landscapes and natural history to travel, buildings, candid portraits and street photography, Paul Harcourt Davies provides a wealth of tips and tricks that you can use to turn even everyday snaps into something really special.
