Outdoor Photography for the Absolute Fun of it!
If you are
not presently completely in love with nature and wild land, then you may never
develop the intuitive insights and visions necessary for the kinds of inspiring
images that will “knock-the-socks-off” of fellow human beings. If the love is
there, then a grasp of the essentials of photographic technique may be what’s
needed. I truly believe that learning these essentials is not difficult. This
free eBook is an attempt to share with you what I have learned in thirty-five years
of using a camera.* It is not highly
technical because I am not highly technical. Nor is it the ultimate text
covering all knowledge and science regarding photographic technique. It is
simply a series of explanations and photographic tips that, when taken together,
constitute field photography as I love to practice it. It covers the techniques
which I employ most often - techniques that have been derived from a combination
of experience and study and that have produced results that for me have been
personally and deeply satisfying. It has been created under the belief that
outdoor photography should be practiced for the pure joy of it!
