2 total works
Designed for any photographer wishing to experiment with the possibilities of digital photography, this handbook addresses the popular field of travel photography. Each photograph is accompanied by a step-by-step explanation of how the effects and manipulations have been achieved. The topics are addressed by subject and treated in four phases: shoot it, scan it, manipulate it and print it. Opening with the chapter: "why digital?" the book discusses the advantages of digital against traditional photography and follows up with real-life projects from the very basic to the more complex, providing shooting techniques and advice on improving the results after the event.
A new approach to the conventional handbook, this essential guide avoids the traditional, textbook style in favour of a highly visual, contemporary design. Intelligent use of diagrams, illustrations and photographs allows for a more concise text which is easy to follow at all times. Every aspect of producing digital landscape photographs is covered with the creative process broken down into the four key stages: capturing, scanning, manipulating and printing the image. The author covers the production of singular images as well as more complex processes involving several images as a montage or mosaic.
