Practical Photography with over 800 photographs and arttuorks The only important objective in photography is getcing the right result - and world-famous professional photographer John Freeman can show you how to do just that, whatever your level of experience, whatever equipment you own, and whatever your artistic skill. Whether you simply want the basic know-how to take great shots of your children, holidays, and family celebrations; whether you want the assurance to record confidently such memorable personal events as births, graduations, and sporting achievements; or whether you want a thorough grounding in all aspects of the photographer's art right up to the advanced level, PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHY is the perfect practical reference manual and inspirational source book. The use and understanding of equipment is treated in detail, and covers everything from modern autofocus cameras to the newest technological innovations, with additional features about accessories such as lenses, filters, and flash. But the author's strong view is that, regardless of the type or quality of the hardware, the most important factor behind a great picture is the photographer. He therefore concentrates on advice, tips and professional guidance for the basic elements that contribute to the fínished effect - light, composition, and color. Most essentially, instruction is by example - with over 800 photographs included so that every technique is fully illustrated in easy-to-follow practical detail. The examples are carefully chosen to cover the most popular themes and subjects - meaning that the lessons will be directly relevant to the photography you want to do. These features include children, travel, landscape, buildings, holidays, abstract patterns, people and portraits, pets, the body, skies, water and weather. The final section carries the keen photographer forward into more advanced and challenging areas, presenting in simple terms the exciting opportunities offered by speciálist equipment, experimenting with lighting, different types of film stock, manipulating prints, creating collages, multiple exposure and so on.

PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHY reveals the secrets of the world's leading photographers and explodes the myth that high-quality results can only be achieved by professionals with expensive equipment. It has been specifically designed to become the essential reference source and companion for every modern photographer in the 1990s. Jacket printed in China Vissza
