PHOTOGRAPHING THE UNDSCAPE

BYJOHNHELDER
After years of experience teaching nature photography workshops, acclaimed photographer John Fielder has put his unique curriculum together in Photographing the Landscape: The Art of Seeing. Combining technical instruction with reverent observations of nature, Fielder offers valuable lessons for everyone — photographers, hikers, and virtually anyone with an open eye.
Readers discover how their eyes and their cameras perceive natural light differently, and they learn how to get the most out of their equipment when they attempt to align these disparate perceptions. In addition to learning about composition, color, and lighting conditions, readers also find ways to feel comfortable and productive in potentially hostile environments.
But to call this a simple "How To" book is a gross understatement. Readers will have to decide whether to keep this book on the coffee table or the reference desk. Replete with more than 200 beautiful photographs that illustrate Fielder's secret techniques, the book is as visually tantalizing as it is informative. And Fielder's accounts of life in the field also serve as guides to some of the most beautiful wilderness areas in the western United States.
Photographing the Landscape: The Art of Seeing summarizes the subtleties of cameras and lenses, and it offers insights into different camera formats. But throughout these technical discussions. Fielder maintains a reverence for nature despite the temptations of technology Following in the tradition of Ansel Adams, Fielder places nature above everything else. Take a look at his photographs and you'll begin to understand. Take heed of his instruction and you'll understand even more. Vissza
