DESCRIPTION:
Readers will learn how to “see in the dark,” use filters to create very long exposures, create a natural effect using light painting, photograph night skies and moonlit landscapes, and make the best use of available natural light. A chapter on the art of visual flow discusses how to create compositions that direct the viewer's eye through the frame for maximum impact. Inspiring photographers to get out early and stay out late, this book explains how to use light, an essential element of outdoor photography. This book also covers how to use shutter speeds to express motion and capture the energy of fast-moving subjects, such rushing streams, ocean swells, and bounding wildlife. Photographers will develop a sense of when to break the "rules" of composition, how to use elements to frame subjects, what to include and exclude in the frame, how to create the feeling of depth and dimension in a scene, and how to push the boundaries of composition to make memorable nature images that capture and convey fresh viewpoints.

Quality training book Frederick Pilot Brenda Tharp is well known as an enthusiastic teacher and highly skilled nature photographer. I personally attended her workshop near Boston years ago. "Expressive Nature Photography" is a professionally done training book that at a minimum will help you fake it and just maybe you'll make it.. Jeffrey N. Fritz said Wonderful Reference and Teaching Book About Nature Photography and Light. As a professional photographer, I am asked to do all kinds of work ranging from wedding photos to portraits. I am happy for the work. However, my love is with landscape and nature photography. This is the area where operating my camera is the most fun and where my heart resides. I am drawn, therefore, to a well written, well produced book on the subject of landscape and nature photography. This is one such book.Although her book is about nature and landscape photography, Brenda Tharp discusses light a great deal in her book, "Expressive Nature Photograp. "an expressive, appreciative, indispensible guide to nature photography" according to Robert D. Harmon. As someone who lives in a beautiful wooded area in California, with plenty of locales in a days' drive distance as well, and with wildlife flying or wandering past my house most days, I can well appreciate what Ms. Tharp discusses.
