Professional Secrets of Nature Photography: Essential Skills for Photographing the Outdoors

by Judy Holmes

Overview

Outdoor photography presents a unique set of challenges for photographers. This book profiles 60 of the author’s own images to teach the craft of nature photography. Tips are given on identifying the best subjects for a photograph—be it a flower, landscape, or wildlife. Photographers learn to work in natural light, evaluate how light effects work best with specific subjects, what weather conditions, and which times of day yield the best light. Picking the right equipment—lenses, tripods, lights, cameras, and filters—is also discussed.

Editorial Reviews

Judy Holmes has developed an ability to demystify photography. While some books on equipment and technique try to cover the topics from A to Z, sometimes in excessive detail, she has decided to take a more basic approach in this book. Her primary premise makes sense, too; by showing how to identify and solve problems that often cause images to "fail," readers should be able to take better images.
