Photographing the Landscape: The Art of Seeing

by John Fielder

Nationally renowned nature photographer John Fielder reveals the photographic techniques that he has honed over his 35-year career as a landscape photographer in his first instructional book. 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. Combining technical instruction with reverent observations of nature, Fielder offers valuable lessons for photographers, hikers, and virtually anyone with an open eye. He not only explains the basics of photography, but reveals the art of 'seeing' a photograph before ever clicking the shutter. In this newly revised edition, John Fielder gives his tips for DIGITAL photography as well as classic tips for film.
