Product Description
Have you ever wondered what it is that professional photographers do day in and day out that enables them to take consistently compelling images? Or thought that unravelling the insider secrets of the professionals could inspire you? This book takes a contemporary and innovative approach to revealing the day-to-day habits of the world's most successful wildlife, landscape and macro photographers, divulging the core skills and techniques through which they excel. This book is crammed full with expert advice taken from the world's leading pros directly from the field. It will empower the development of your skills to a professional level and fire your imagination. Starting with the basics of how to plan a rewarding field trip (whether locally or afar) for one day or a month, and covering all aspects of camera handling and photographic technique including: how to make perfect exposures every time, ensure pin-sharp images of moving subjects, decipher the complexities of camera menus and controls, and break through the mysteries of composition. And, having learned the secrets to success, the book maps out some simple yet powerful photo exercises and self-assignments to encourage you to explore all facets of digital photography and put into practice the essential skills that will make you, too, a highly successful photographer. Learn from the masters, including Art Wolfe, Chris Weston, Jim Brandenburg, Joe Cornish and National Geographic photographers, Joel Sartore and Michael 'Nick' Nichols - it's the closest you can get to a workshop without getting on a plane. Develop and practice the skills employed by the pro's and experience new skills that lead to instinctive, confident shooting. Ten photo workouts get you thinking like a pro, and assignments test your skills and keep you photographically fit!

Format:Paperback
Before i bought this book i thought i knew a fair bit about photography, but was i wrong! This book covers the essentials for great outdoor photography, nature, wildlife and landscapes, but a lot of the tips could be applied to general photography. This book takes you from the real basics i.e, understanding the various settings on your camera right through to the more advanced i.e,how to plan a field trip and how to create a well composed picture that is pleasing to the eye. I couldn't put this book down and read it in one and a half days. It is well written with plenty of humour and anecdotes and is (as you would imagine) full of fantastic pictures that make you want to grab your camera and get out and about. I know i will be referring back to this book for many years to come. I highly recommend it!

This book is wonderful! I am a beginner in the world of photography and previously found a couple of similar introductory books too technical and frankly just too dry to get into. This book provides all the explanation one needs to get the basic concepts and does it in a captivating manner - I just couldn't put it down. It will definitely remain on the top of the book shelf as a favourite reference for a while to come!

Format:Paperback
Just as the title says, this book is very insightful in that several photographers let us in on some of their techniques and methods. While not being a hands-on exercise-type book, the photographers describe how they went about shooting their pictures. To me this is a great read while also giving valuable expert tips.
